• 5 Classics for July

  In this series, I recommend five classics each month that remind me of that particular time of the year. When I think of July, I think of summer adventures, sparklers on the Fourth of July, hot afternoons, a lot of time with family, sitting by the campfire, and looking at fireflies at the edge of…

• 5 Books Every Incoming English Major Should Read

  You read a lot of books as an English major in college. Some books are more enjoyable, interesting, and frankly more worthwhile to read than others.

• 5 Classics for September

  It’s time for another monthly recommendation! (Miss my August post?) In this series, I recommend five classics each month that remind me of that particular time of the year.

• ABSALOM, ABSALOM! by William Faulkner | Review

My character map quickly became my best friend as I struggled to piece together what happens to the Sutpen family over several decades of scandal, marriage, and death. This book has been on my TBR list for years, though I’ve…

• 7 Reasons to Read THE SOUND AND THE FURY

  William Faulkner’s classic novel The Sound and the Fury holds a special place in my heart as the first book I was ever assigned to read in college. Needless to say, we were all quite confused in my Introduction to Literature class. Why was Benjy also named Maury? Who were all of these different narrators?…
