A #laterlitsy post of my library sale book haul from a week or two ago! I spent $12 total, sent some as gifts, and got my son books too 😍
I decided to put grad school off until summer. Maybe. The truth is that there is another university that I would like to apply to with a much more diverse literature program. An online program is better for me and my current university has their online program set up in a way that just isn't convenient for me. On the bright side, this gives me more time to read all the books!! 👇🏻
There is a sound to waiting. It sounds like held breath pounding its fists against the walls of the lung, damp and muffled beats.

"Besides, it's not like it's a simple thing. Admissions. Admission. Aren't there two sides to the word? And two opposing sides. Admission. It's what we let in, but also what we let out. "
I'm not committing to a defined TBR because I have a few library books to finish reading (and I'm sure I'll find more to borrow when I take this stack back). I also have an ever growing stack of purchased books to read. I start graduate school in January. I'm really excited but I know that my "reading for fun" time will be cut drastically. I'm getting my master's in English Literature. I'm talking a class on Faulkner and a rhetoric class. ?❤️?
pickThis book was great! I liked that there were lots of places where it felt like a nonfiction behind the scenes look at the world of college admissions. And it was sweet and funny and I was sad when it was over.
I'm in bed with this book, and my husband is baking a blackberry pie for breakfast. #saturday
