About Us

We are Em and Julia, two twin teens who have bonded over many things, including our love for reading! Julia writes the blog alone, and both Em and Julia work on the bookstagram (Em physically takes pictures and helps with set-up, and Julia edits, posts, and helps with set-up).

Julia (Blog & Bookstagram)

Julia is very excited about the blog, and loves to work on it. Like Em, she likes to read, especially realistic fiction, historical fiction, and poetry. Her favorite book is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. She also enjoys learning, blogging, and being outdoors.

Em (Bookstagram Only)

Em started to really love to read a couple of years ago. She loves young adult novels and biographies. Besides reading, she likes playing the flute, procrastinating, mac 'n cheese, and photography. Em's favorite book is Made You Up by Francesca Zappia. Her favorite color is orange, and my favorite number is 529. Em is great at taking pictures, and is thus the main photographer for Reading is Inevitable.

[Julia's Note: Em is very sweet and kind. She is a great friend, and I'm lucky to have her, not just because of her amazing photography skills, of course! She is so much funnier and outgoing than I'll ever be, and I believe that I admire her for that.]

Quotes: The Nightingale

I realized that, over a year ago, I wrote a post called "Quotes: Audacity" , and that this post did really well (it's actually Reading is Inevitable's most read post!), and yet I never wrote another post of quotes from a book. I liked writing that post, too. I like sharing quotes I like from books. That's why I started doing it on our bookstagram page . So why did I never write another one of these "quote blog posts"? I don't know. But I intend to write at least another one. And that's why I'm here today. Well, there's that, and then there's also the amazing book that is The Nightingale. If you've read some of my recent blog posts or have poked around a bit, you would know that exactly a month ago I published my book review on The Nightingale , in which I explained my love for it and why you should read it yourself. And while I actually have another post in the works on that book because it definitely deserves more than on...

Quotes: Audacity

As some of you may know by looking at my posts on our social media page (@readingisinevitable on Instagram), I am currently reading Audacity by Melanie Crowder. It is a beautiful book written in free verse, and follows the life of Clara Lemlich, a female Jewish immigrant who came to America in the early 1900s. (For the full summary of the book, click here .) I absolutely love books written in free verse, or any type of poetry, in fact! This book is so lovely that I have decided to dedicate a whole post to some of my favorite quotes or parts! (Note: I am only on page 294, and there are 366 pages, not including the extra content at the end of my local library's copy.)

Book Review: In the Shadow of Man

Title: In the Shadow of Man Author: Jane Goodall Genre: Informational Nonfiction Rating: 4 out of 5 Reviewer: Julia Although this is one of Jane Goodall's earlier publications on her study of chimpanzees, and therefore is older, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Some people may stray away from this book because this is nonfiction, but I can say with confidence that those people are missing out on something great.

Book Review: Quiet Power

Title: Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts Author: Susan Cain, with the assistance of Gregory Mone and Erica Moroz Genre: Nonfiction Rating: 3 out of 5 Reviewer: Julia Back in 2012, specifically the 24th of January, Susan Cain published her book, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking . This book shook the world, and was listed as a bestseller and opened the minds of many. This book was for adults. But then, earlier this year (2016), Cain, along with the help of Gregory Mone and Erica Moroz, published another book on being quiet, only this time for teens and children. This book is a guide for kids on how to navigate life - at school, home, in social groups, and activities - using and recognizing their quiet nature. With stories of real introverted kids, the book is designed to help teens and kids to take advantage of their quiet ways, and teaches them to be proud and to embrace it. There is also a section in the back for teachers and o...
