I’m a current New Yorker, who is planning a move back home to the Detroit area. My fiancé and I just bought a house — one we’ll be fixing up for quite awhile. I’ve spent the last nine years on the Upper West Side and have been enjoying all that Manhattan has to offer: amazing parks to relax in, wonderful cafes and restaurants to read in, and awesome bookshops to explore. When I’m not planning my move back to Michigan and pinning lots of things I can’t afford, I love to cook, do yoga, and force my friends to play Quiplash or Sushi Go. I love TV as much as I love books, so my recent reading choices reflect that: books by chefs I devour on YouTube, stories that offer belly laughs even more satisfying than the series I’m binging, and romances that rival a blockbuster rom-com (with more queer representation than ever before).
