From Holly's Bookshelf

A bookworm reading in Brooklyn. Enthusiastic about houseplants, indie bookstores, and learning. Finding people the perfect book is one of my favorite things. My tastes range but regularly include sociology, memoirs, Christian nonfiction, and historical fiction. I'm a sucker for an elderly protagonist or a story that involves a physical journey. Interested in diversifying my bookshelf and encouraging others to join.
