Hi there! Now that I’ve started populating my feed a bit I wanted to introduce myself!

I’m Dr. Sophia Basaldua-Sun, a scholar of comparative literature turned publishing professional (I work in trade publishing now).

As a way of keeping in touch with my academic roots I created an Instagram blog about canonical novels, research, learning, and lately a bit of travel content as well.

I really love engaging with the book community, and especially with journaling, junk journaling, and creative journaling communities. Even though I’m more of a note taker than a journaler, I love observing and learning new ways of making my notebooks more visually interesting.

So that’s a little about me! And I hope you’ll tell me a little about you and join me for an occasional (okay three times a week) dose of learning about literature and comparative literature.
