Olivia Barone Editor in Chief I am often the first to admit that I missed being active at RIC over winter break, but I do not miss the free time I had to read at home, warm under a blanket without worrying about waking up early to clean the snow off my car. Thanks to these subzero temperatures, I had ample time inside to tackle the unread books on my nightstand. Here are the highlights.  Photo by Olivia Barone “Normal People” by Sally Rooney I remember when Rooney’s second no
