Hello! My name is Elyssa and I'm a book nerd. So glad you stopped by! This blog is dedicated to my love of things bookish and literary. As novice writer, I have a deep appreciation for the written word. You're liable to find me rambling about favorite reads, books I wasn't so impressed with, and other nerdy things that tickle my fancy. Stay awhile and take a look around! Feel free to drop me a message, I'd love to hear from you :). Have a beautiful day!
