About Me

I’m Lyndsay, a 32-year-old lover of reading and writing. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, graduated from the University of Virginia in 2013, and now live in Austin, Texas working as a tutor, improviser, stand-up comic and Pure Barre instructor.

I created this blog because I like to talk about books and make people smile; so, here, I strive to do both, combining literary analysis and laughs.

In case you’ve stumbled upon Lyndsay’s Lit Reviews, here’s a guide to my reading taste: I’m drawn to authors who tackle life’s big questions. Some of my favorite authors include Kurt Vonnegut, David Foster Wallace, George Saunders, J.D. Salinger, Lorrie Moore, Nora Ephron, Cheryl Strayed, Tom Robbins, and Joan Didion. I try to balance my genres. Non-fiction feeds my mind and fiction feeds my soul.

If you enjoy my reviews and want to read some of the books I’ve reviewed, I encourage you to purchase them from my Amazon Affiliate links. This shit doesn’t pay for itself!
