Ann Zhao

Ann Zhao (she/her) is a graduate of Wellesley College, where she studied linguistics with a minor in women’s and gender studies. At various points in college, she participated in the student-run newspaper and the student-run radio station, processed interlibrary loans for the college library, and assisted in research for two linguistics labs, including one that wasn’t even at Wellesley. Doing all this was not good for her writing schedule.Now taking a break before pursuing graduate education, Ann lives with her family in Illinois. She enjoys cooking, baking, and knitting, but she does not enjoy cleaning up after herself when she’s done with these activities. She collects cassette tapes of her favorite artists’ albums because vinyls feel like too much of a commitment. She is a big proponent of getting a good night’s sleep and an even bigger proponent of diverse representation in media.You can find Ann on social media as @annzhao_ on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. She also still uses Tumblr for some reason (@annzhao). She has had this Goodreads account for about a decade, so please do not consider her ratings as an accurate summation of her taste in books, because it has definitely changed since she was in sixth grade.
