You know you’re a lit nerd when as a child you were disappointed that your wardrobe was normal.

Yeah, but that didn’t stop me from playing in mine. I had all of my favorite books stacked next to my shoes and plenty of pillows to stay comfortable. I snuck in Capri Suns and animal crackers in case I got hungry and made more permanent plans for a mini-fridge. I insisted that my closet was sufficient for all of my living needs but my mom told me I couldn’t sleep in my closet; in defiance, I slept HALF in my closet, with my legs and lower half in the closet and my upper half on my bedroom floor.

When you have four other siblings, finding your own space was hard to come by. I’m partial to closets and the space behind beds. My most enjoyable reading is done when secluded.
