About My Library: I love reading post-war and post-colonial translated works of fiction, stories with elements of magical realism and philosophy, and literary fiction that explores intersectionality. As for nonfiction, I like memoirs, essays, and some historical nonfiction.

I mostly read in English, but I also read some literature in French. I'm also trying to read in Spanish (currently learning the language).

Some favorite books: God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, A Breath of Life by Clarice Lispector, Territory of Light by Yūko Tsushima, The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch, Cien años de soledad by Gabriel García Márquez, Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin, The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, East of Eden by John Steinbeck, Metamorphoses by Ovid, Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich, Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison.
About Me: A working mother, womanist, atheist, former pianist, and perfumista.
