| Occupation | Librarian |
| Introduction | I grew up in the fondly nicknamed Isle of Devils, whose literary mascot is Shakespeare's wily Sorcerer Prospero. It's no surprise that my life revolves around stories. Being a librarian feeds my love of all things literary. When I'm not devouring books I'm off in search of great conversations, a good spot of chocolate, and a song that I can dance to. |
| Interests | Books: the collecting, reading, sharing and organizing thereof; Writing: letters, stories and implausible blog entries; Painting: for the fun of an afternoon spent with the imagination; Fencing: or trying not to get hit with a sword; Miscellaneous other tasks which often devolve into reading a good book :) |
| Favorite Movies | The Princess Bride, Howl's Moving Castle, Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, Star Trek, Star Dust, St. Trinians, Eddie, A Very Long Engagement, Mulan, Sense and Sensibility, Jane Eyre, Dr. Strangelove, Now Voyager, Whisper of the Heart, How to Train Your Dragon, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, Easy Virtue, Galaxy Quest (and others as the enthusiasm takes me) |
| Favorite Music | If I can dance to it, it made the list, also classical for the inexpressible emotions, show tunes for everything over the top, and jazz for late late evenings up writing |
| Favorite Books | This is of course a partial list, Winged Pharaoh, Red Pyramid, Now Voyager, Cold Comfort Farm, The Perfect Rake, Bet Me, Sorcery and Cecelia, Fly By Night, Nim's Island, The Hero With a Thousand Faces, Ex Libris, At Large and At Small, Jane Eyre, Mr. Impossible, The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, The Lightning Thief, The Frog Princess, Pillage, Zora and Me, Devil's Cub, The Masqueraders, The Pirates in An Adventure with Napoleon, A Walk in the Woods, Library Lion, The Gruffalo, the list keeps changing with every new book I read :) |
