I give them to you plant and grow what you will.

hi! my name is grace and i am a freshman in SCA. I’ve loved reading ever since I was a kid, but I fell out of the habit in middle school and Im trying to get back into it. I would say some of my favorites are:

a tree grows in brooklyn by betty smith
in the cut by susanna moore
9 stories by jd salinger
democracy by joan didion
and lastly, post office by charles bukowski
