About Me

158Hi everyone!  I’m Heather, I am 25 years old and reside in the north suburbs of Chicago.  When I am not at work I spend most of my time reading (obviously), hanging out with my husband and our three cats, going out to eat (I love restaurants in a dangerously expensive way), and doing fun things with family and friends.  I’m especially inclined to do just about whatever I can to spend time with my one year old niece, Adrianna.

This blog is mainly for me to keep track of my reading, and to share with all of you what I thought about the books I have read.  Occasionally, you may find a post or two about non-bookish things when I’m feeling ambitious. :)

    Hi Heather–

    I just read your review of “Sima’s Undergarments for Women.” I’m so thrilled you enjoyed the book, and honored you reviewed it. All the more so given that you read it as a PDF–your tenacity is much appreciated.

    I’ve added a link to your blog on my website.

    Thanks again–
    All best,
    Ilana

    Hello Heather!
    I just happened upon your website while I was googling Malcom Gladwell. I will certainly come back to read more and your blog as well! I’m a female sculptor with a passion for biographies diaries and journals of writers and artists. It gives me the comfort I need and an extended family. Books and art is what makes our world a better place. Not to leave out brilliant minds like Malcom Gladwell

    How nice to ‘meet’ you; I live outside of Chicago myself! Your fellow bibliophile, Bellezza
