I'm getting back to reading after a long long time so I'm currently a bit slow paced. My goal is to get back into academics after having spent 5 years exploring art.
I'm currently reading classics, literary criticisms, and getting into some online courses that will help me become knowledgeable in english literature, for i intend on teaching school kids.
Let's connect if you have similar book choices and/or like to discuss. I'd really appreciate any help.

Welcome!
I hope you find GR an enjoyable place & visit often.
I'm only allowed followers now. (No one told me there was a friendship limit.) But hope to stay in touch.
These are the two books I've written so far:
Sherrie Miranda's "Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans" follows the dramatic story of naive, sheltered Shelly going to “The Big Easy” to prepare for El Salvador, but has no idea she will encounter sexism and witness racism as well as illegal activities by government agents.

Author, Sherrie Miranda's husband made the trailer for "Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans." He wrote the music too.

Review: Shelly’s journey in “the city that care forgot.”Sherrie Miranda’s new novel “Crimes and Impunity in New Orleans” puts the reader into a whirlwind of political protests, abusive police, sexist attitudes towards women, and “good old boys” racism in 1980’s New Orleans. Miranda’s second novel follows Shelly, the young northerner, as she quickly finds out that she “isn’t in Kansas anymore” while encountering a slew of picturesque, colorful characters. Reading her book makes you wonder if justice and respect for blacks, immigrants, and women can be reality in America.
In Book 2, "Secrets & Lies in El Salvador," Shelly goes to El Salvador to photograph Salvadorans in the midst of the civil war there. She becomes the keeper of many people's secrets & lies.
