Isabella Zhou

Isabella is a bookworm from the NYC metro area with a degree in English literature from Columbia University. She also writes book reviews for Foreword Reviews and poetry study guides for BookRags. Her interests, in no particular order, include women and paintings (in them, painting them, looking at them, etc.), fairytales and retellings, Impressionism, 19th century tomes, unrequited loved, cats, the persistence of memory over time, the Sisyphean toil of writing a novel, and the language of flowers and gemstones. Between all of that, her favorite hobby is ballroom dancing because she likes pretending she is a spirited young lady who has snuck into a masquerade ball held by the kingdom's nobility. You can check out more of her work at isabellazhouwrites.wordpress.com.
