About Andrea

This site is a passion project created by me, Andrea Borod: high school teacher, creative writer, tinkerer & book lover.

By watching friends who had given up reading reacquaint themselves with literature of all kinds, and seeing the pleasure it brought to them, I recognized my niche in connecting people with the right book. 

I hold an MFA in creative writing and literature from Emerson College, and degrees in literature from McGill University. I worked in the media (in jobs spanning publishing to television), before discovering the incomparable world of teaching teens.

I am here to personally vet books for you: books that speak to your interests whether these range from business to literary fiction to travel writing to all of the above.

If you don’t like reading, this website will hopefully speak to you as well and I may encourage you to take the baby steps necessary to regain that desire to read.

Think of me as your personal book concierge. I’m not here to give you better information but, rather, to give you my own take, with the hope of enhancing your reading experience.
