About me

Gender Female
Location kansas city, United States
Introduction My name is Bet(h) Mercer — sometimes the h is silent. I blog here and also had the honour of blogging for Gimme Some Reads, as its sole writer, for the first year (2013). I write poetry, stories, and screenplays. I’m a public library information specialist. I’ve travelled to 18 countries* (some of them multiple times) and always with just one carryon suitcase. I’m a photographer and have had five shows (one was a one-day event on the L-train in Chicago). I love reading, watching films and TV, and listening to music — I especially love rereading, rewatching, and relistening. I enjoy sitting around with friends chatting about everything under the sun. I have a lively laugh that has several phases, one of which involves tears. *England (5x), Ireland (3x), Scotland, Wales (2x), Mexico, Canada, Thailand, Rwanda, Kenya, New Zealand, Spain (2x), Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden, Estonia, Italy, Iceland
