President, Melia Gemrose

Hello! My name is Melia, and I'm a senior studying English and Classics. My reading taste is a little all over the place, but I have soft spot for fantasy and absurd classics. One of my all-time favorite authors is R.F. Kuang, and The Dragon Republic is one of my favorite books. Outside of reading, I love seeing movies, going to concerts, and trying new restaurants with my friends!

Vice President, Nandini Manepalli

Hi everyone! My name is Nandini and I’m a junior studying Molecular and Cellular Biology with minors in Political Science and Astrobiology. I’m a huge fan of fantasy, science fiction, and contemporary novels. My favorite book at the moment is Beartown by Fredrik Backman. Besides reading, I also enjoy watching movies, going for runs, and trying out new matcha recipes!

Secretary, Faith Coffey

Hello everyone! My name is Faith, and I am currently a Junior majoring in veterinary science with a minor in microbiology. I find that I gravitate most towards fiction, mystery, and thrillers when it comes to my reading. My current favorite book is The Green Mile by Stephen King. Other than reading, I enjoy thrifting, coffee runs (ironically), and a good night in with my friends!
