This post is an incomplete profile of my best friend Brittany, who lives in Chicago and is a super cool feminist/activist/reader/writer/world traveler. You can find her on Twitter at @britreads4fun.
We have known each other since 2008 when we were freshmen in college, so there are all kinds of embarrassing pictures I could post on this page. HOWEVER, I have given my blog address to children, so we're gonna keep it clean and focused on the books.
She has reviewed the following books for this blog:
Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
Heather Wells Mystery Series by Meg Cabot
So here are some facts about Brittany:

So here are some facts about Brittany:
- She has the biggest wanderlust of anyone I've ever seen. She has visited about a million countries including Chila, Chile, Ireland, Scotland, Jamaica, and I'm sure that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
- Like me, she was a Creative Writing and Literature major in undergrad, where she wrote some fantastic fiction pieces and really solidified her love of literature (but it started in childhood).
- Brittany is a life-long book lover! She had a twenty-book-a-month library habit in the summer growing up, and won tons of prizes from the public library and her school for reading contests.
- Brittany is a super duper major extreme wonderful socially conscious intersectional feminist! I could try to tell you details but she explains it way better than I do. Maybe some day she will explain it for my blog, and/or give me a list of her favorite feminist books to post.
- While being a super duper major extreme wonderful socially conscious intersectional feminist, Brittany is also a heterosexual cisgender female (weirdo). (TOTALLY KIDDING all sexualities and gender identities are valid and have no bearing on whether you can be a good person and care about the plights of others please don't stone me to death).
Without further ado, here are some pictures of her and us...
