Who are we?

BARBARA works in advertising and is based in New York City. She graduated from Bucknell University in 2018, where she studied English, Spanish, and political science. Most of Barbara’s reading revolves around independent bookstores and iced lattes. Her favorite places to read are at the beach and on vacation, but preferably at the beach on vacation. She gravitates towards historical fiction, memoirs, and novels with multiple narrators and points of view.

KELSEY made a New Year’s resolution in 2018 to read a book a month and it completely renewed her love for reading. She graduated from Boston University in 2017 and works in Audience Development in New York City. Most of her reading is done slowly on the subway or on a Friday night in. She enjoys books that will probably make her cry.

MADELINE is a writer and editor based in Brooklyn, NY. Her writing has appeared in Buy Side from WSJ, Travel + Leisure, Apartment Therapy, and more. She can often be found reading on the subway, in the park, at the beach, or her favorite coffee shop, cappuccino in hand. In particular, Madeline loves to read campus novels, coming off age stories, and personal essays.
