Jane Eyre – Book Review
I finally did it! I finally read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I’ve had it on my shelf for a long time, and I started it a few years ago, and loved it from the very first page. The length, I think, is what kept me from reading it all the way through. I wanted to […]

Reading.
This post was inspired by this post about dying bookstores. When I was younger, my dad worked downtown in Nashville, Tennessee. If he had something to do on the weekend, he would take me there and I would have to wait for him to finish his work. Afterwards, as a treat, he would take me […]
