I’m thinking I need to read some Joss Stirling – everyone seems to be raving about these books!
And as for the quarter life crisis – I had that when I reached 26 and went off to do some traveling by myself for 6 month – totally worth being broke and unemployed for that time. Had the best time! Hope the books helps!

My current wish is for a lovely children’s book I cataloged during my internship. Please come see what it is and what other things I’m wishing for.

I can’t wait to read *Lola and the Boy Next Door* by the fab Ms. Perkins! And I agree with the majority…*Stealing Phoenix* looks fantastic! PS Quarter life crises are completely normal and will pass!! And then you’ll come up on 30 and panic a little again! I’m there in two weeks! AHH!

A great idea to feature some non-fiction books.
A quarter life crisis- Such a positive thing to take the opportunity to re-evaluate and re focus.
I’ve just spent the last year counting down the last of my twenties,much to my disgust. When did I get so old?!
Happy reading,
Caroline
