Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to the blog about literature. I am your DJ, Yael Ochoa.

I've been reading since before I knew how. When I was young I lived in an infinite number of worlds, each more fantastic than the last. Here, I continue that legacy and hope to share it with you. My personal book list is ever-growing and my hope for this blog is to find a means of codifying my exploits.

For you, reader, peruse at your leisure, join my adventures, and let me know what you think!

-Yael
