Thanks for joining us at the beginning! Welcome to 2 Book Girls, the newly minted blog for book reviews from a modern female perspective. Contributing authors of this blog are Katelyn Cullinan and Jessica Doran, best friends from college who have always bonded over a love of reading and storytelling. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to create a space where we can learn, discuss, and provide commentary on the things we read, and the things we’ll warn you just aren’t worth reading.

Kate and I have been friends for about 8 years now. We became close when we were designated as roommates on a study abroad trip in York, England. We studied the Classics together on that trip and throughout college: all different types of literature. Although Kate was on the medical track and I was an English major, we shared a love of good stories – something that brings everyone together!

We hope that this blog can be a destination for avid readers who are looking to join in a discussion of contemporary (and not so contemporary) books, laugh at the books that are really just terrible, and follow along on our journey to enriching our lives with words. We hope you enjoy, and follow our “To Read” lists on Goodreads for what we are looking forward to.

Happy Reading,

Jess & Kate
