I (heart) to read


When I was in grad school, I was told that most people will have two or three career changes in their lives. I remember thinking, "Nope..not me. I'll be lucky to figure out what I want to do in my lifetime."

Most people think I left Columbia after my first year of grad school to get over a bad breakup. While some of that is true, the truer part is that I wanted an adventure. And I didn't think that I had enough credibility through my limited life experiences to be taken seriously as a therapist.

But if I had the time, and hit the lotto, I think I'd be a librarian. I adore books. I devour them. Every other Saturday, you can typically find me at the local library, looking for something to get lost in. Perhaps it's this escape that preserves my sanity as a therapist. I just finished the book above. It was cute and a good read. I've been mainly sticking to Christian fiction because it's safe. I can't read anything that will devastate me. So if anyone has any suggestions on good Christian fiction or anything docile (and no, I don't want to be guided towards the Children's Lit section, thank you!), I'd love to hear them.

I'm off to go finish a Christmas book I've been working on. I'll post more about it when I finish.
