About Us

Hi! My name is Martha, and I am the owner of Gone Astray Books. 

This bookstore was founded last year, and I am very happy to finally have it up and running (woot woot!). 

I am a graduate from the University of Texas at Arlington where I majored in English (Critical Theory) and Critical Languages and International Studies with a minor in Mandarin Chinese. It was during this time in my life that a new passion for Eastern Asian literature really bloomed. Fast forward 12 years and here I am!

Stories are what help bind us. They give us a voice and the ability to travel the world. I can't wait to share my passion with you as we embark on the adventures brought to us through East Asian literature.
