Hey! This is me at my cousin's wedding in Lebanon two summers ago. I was her maid of honor, which, in Lebanese terms, apparently means that I will be the godmother of her kids. Don't think I'm ready for that yet :P but good to know someone thinks I'm responsible/worthy :).
I am...
-a Pomona College Neuroscience major, English minor (currently a junior)
-a Lebanese American book nerd
-a constant daydreamer
-the youngest & only girl in a family of six
-a sentimental pack rat who takes many, many pictures for scrapbooks
-a traveler at heart though I have yet to go very many places
-a writer
Five things you probably didn't know about me:
1. I have a birthmark on my nose. When I was a kid, my brothers gave me the nickname "Crapstina" because of it.
2. I have an obsession with pretty photographs. I often use the excuse that I'm looking for inspiration for my writing but really I just love the colors :D. Or the angle. Or *insert millions of reasons to love photography and Photoshop and ...*
3. I didn't start listening to music until I was in eleventh grade. I didn't care enough until my friends all started mentioning concerts, and I thought I should get with the game.
4. I used to have to fix my bed before sleeping in it (otherwise I couldn't sleep)... Now heh heh...
5. People have told me that I'm constantly smiling. My mom once said it looked like I was waiting for a fly to come into my mouth. Gross, huh? I don't notice when I'm doing it though.
To give you a sense of what I look for in books...
My favorite books are:
the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, Harry Potter (all 7--Deathly Hallows was my favorite though) by J.K. Rowling, and more listed here on Goodreads.

I don't prefer a specific genre over the rest. The only type of books I tend not to read for pleasure are non-fiction works, and that's mostly because they remind me too much of regular school work. Maybe once I graduate I'll start to read those, but for now, you will only see fiction works here.
(exception: Please Read (if at all Possible): The Girl Project)
For a more detailed idea of what types of books I like to read (and will thus review), check out my discussion posts page where you will find rants about pet peeves in YA, what I'd like to see more of, etc. etc.
