About Erin

I'm Erin: bibliophile, writer, and over-achiever.  I can often be found with a cat and a cup of tea.  I have spent twenty years in this world so far, the majority of them spent wishing I had magic.  Right now I am an undergrad at William and Mary where I am studying chemistry. When I'm not reading or avoiding homework, I'm baking, taking photos, and enjoying long nature walks.  I love a myriad of things--astronomy, cake, sarcasm--but nothing more than books.

I began reading at a very young age, as my father loves reading and I apparently inherited that obsession... I mean trait.  Thanks to my mother for reading to me before I could myself, and for both my parents for encouraging me, but not pushing.  Since then I have grown into a complicated, messy person (as we all do), but I have never forfeited books.

"So many books, so little time."  

About the Book Archive

The Book Archive stemmed, as most book blogs do, from an intense love for reading. Book reviews, discussions, and lifestyle posts can be found in abundance over the years. While life has shifted and changed over time, as it always must, The Book Archive remains a constant flood of book-ish passion.
