Hello, my name is Mia Marci.
I’m powered by coffee, cats and dogs, and humanity (oh, humanity). I’ve been a personal blogger since high school when the internet had to be accessed via a phone line and a noisy modem.
My main interests are in reading education, English as a Second Language, pop culture criticism, non-fiction, and poetry.
