Whitney, Co-Creator/Blogger
[Me with What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day by Pearl Cleage]
About Me:
I'm a writer and aspiring editor in NYC that will read nearly anything. Seriously, anything. I'm also slowly realizing that I'm a bit of a feminist. But in a cute way :)
What I do on UL:
Wax poetic/pissed (depending on the mood + book) on books new and old. My unofficial job is also to try to get the other bloggers to join me in reading books by DWM (dead white men) that are labeled classics :)
Favorite Book:
The Wonder Spot by Melissa Bank. I wrote lots and lots about it here.
Favorite Place to Read:
The subway, hands down. It's relaxing and it makes the fellow passengers think that you're smart.
[With Co-Creator Nicole in 2006]
Favorite Movie based on a Book:
Great Expectations with Gwyneth Paltrow
What I Like to Do When I'm Not Reading:
Writing, Watching anything on HBO or the Food Network, baking, planning on working out (but never actually going to the gym)
Favorite Websites (besides Uptown Literatti, of course):
Jezebel.com, Salon.com, Shopbop.com, FoodNetwork.com, NYMag.com
Favorite Thing about UL:
Everything! But definitely learning more about my friends through their book selections and insights.
