Welcome to the official web home of the Urban Literary Review! This journey has been a long time coming, and I’m so excited to finally be able to share everything that we’ve been cooking up over the past several months. So feel free to poke around, read a few articles and even a few excerpts from some of your favorite writers (we have some phenomenal excerpts this week).
So one huge goal of mine as the editor of ULR is also to be really accessible to readers and get to know as many of you as I can. I want this to be a community where everyone feels like they can discuss whatever happens to be on their minds, whether it be book related or otherwise. So to kick the introduction off, I’ll give you my short and sweet bio and a few fun/fast facts about me:
Full Name: Cortnee Chanice Howard
Date of Birth: October 17
Sign: Libra
Hometown: Twinsburg, Ohio
Current Location: Atlanta, GA
Twitter: artlifefreedom
Personal Blog: The Vicious Yankee
Currently Reading: John Henry Days by Colson Whitehead
Favorite Book: Absalom, Absalom by William Faulkner (everyone needs to read this book in my opinion)
My thoughts on E-readers: I actually don’t own an e-reader. Still lugging my suitcase full of books 
. I have the Kindle app installed on my Android phone though for emergency reading. E-readers are the future but I’m still a little slow on the uptake.
What’s on my “to read” list: I want to start reading the Hunger Games before the movies come out. I’ve been told it’s a great series.
5 Things I can’t live without: Phone, Rosebud Salve, Bible, my glasses and Pellegrino water.
Now enough about me…leave a comment and introduce yourself! And feel free to include links to your books and sites
