About My Library

My library is the size that it is largely thanks to some excellent local second-hand stores. I'm also lucky to have access to a few wonderful public libraries, and I list books I've read in addition to books I own.

I read fiction, both modern and classic. In non-fiction, I love exploring self-improvement books, memoirs/biographies, travel writing, and essays. Also have a soft spot for Russian literature, and enjoy children's books, plays, short stories, some poetry, etc.
