New Site Default Bookshelf

In a city where you're always being asked to buy something, move faster, or give up your seat, finding a true third place—a cozy, welcoming in-between space that isn’t home or work—feels increasingly rare. But Yu & Me Books on Mulberry Street is exactly that. It’s a bookstore, a café, a bar, and a community hub all in one—where you can linger with a used book, browse thoughtfully chosen titles, or just exist for a while without being hurried along. It’s not trying to manufacture a vibe or brand itself around “hot girls reading”—it simply is a vibe. Books, clothes, author events, quiet corners, and that very rare, very real feeling that you’re welcome to stay as long as you like. That’s why I’m so excited to host my second NYC book event for To Have and Have More here, on May 1 with @Eric Kim . It’s a space that deserves all the love—and I hope it becomes a favorite third place for you, too. 💙

My Favorite "Third Place" in NYC

You don't need to be a sad rich girl to enjoy reading about the oh-so miserable lives of the way-too-privileged⛲️

Sad Rich Girls💖

My Real Name

You've reached Sanibel, author and sometimes rage-baiter. I do not identify as a sad rich girl but I am an ✨expert ✨on them thanks to years of reading about tragic heroines who refuse to exercise their free will.
