Despite what you might think...I do manage to do a few other things in my life besides baking. Reading and writing have long been passions in my life. Growing up, I would spend afternoons in my mom's office, typing away on her computer, crafting stories about horses and girls with short, cropped hair. I would spend evenings pouring over the chapter books my parents graciously bought for me and my sister. Books about Cleopatra, about the pioneers, about horses, about fairies, about adventures in far-away lands. I fell in love with reading, and that initial head-over-heels attraction has yet to dissipate.
In high school, thanks to one of my dearest friends, I was introduced to a variety of literature that most teenagers don't interact with until college. I fell in love with Toni Morisson, checking out every books our library had stocked on its shelves. I read Vonnegut, Faulkner, Hardy, Ishiguro, Neruda, and the list could go on. In college, my passion expanded, and I read voraciously, devouring books like bread.
Now, as I begin graduate work in the fall, I continue to read with fervor, increasing fervor actually because a good writer only comes by being a good reader. I hope to document the books that I'm consuming on this blog. I hope that this allows me to reflect more on what I'm reading and encourages my friends and family to read works by different authors. So after you've taken a look at what I'm baking, please feel free to take a look at what I'm reading. I hope that I can bring thoughtful analysis and critique to the literature that is shaping my perspective on the world and influencing my work as a writer.
