Welcome to the Moratorium Library!
The Library opened on May 1, 2022. It was initially born of my determination to curb my spending, save some space in my one-bedroom apartment, and read the many, many, many books collecting dust on my assorted shelves. The goal was simple: stop buying new books and finally read all the books I already owned. The blog, I was sure, would keep me honest.
Check in every Sunday for book reviews, updates and insights from my life, and a list of the books I inevitably purchased that week. Spoiler alert: I routinely break the very first rule of the Library. What can I say? I love a bookstore.
New? Lost? Start here: Opening Day (and Some Ground Rules)

I know vacuuming isn’t always going to be a fix for combating negative thoughts, but I was glad to have it in my arsenal this week.
When Stars Align
It kind of makes sense that I’m having trouble clearing the hurdle of the next book.
And Eve Was Weak
I have no restraint, and I believe that (some) rules were made to be broken.
10 Books Down, ?? to Go
I look at my crowded shelves and ten books feels like a drop in the bucket.
For the Love of Lived-In Notebooks
I moved home after college and spent the four following years living in my childhood bedroom, collecting stuff.
