Book reviews and blogging focused on library issues, upcoming books, LGBTQ+ media, and more.
Hey all!
I’m Ash! Or you can call me Conina. ✨️ I’m a current graduate student studying library Science & Youth Literature. I love reading, as well as writing.

I will also share peeks of my personal writing projects and blog about issues related to books, libraries, and academia.
