Location Chicago Suburbs, Illinois, United States
Introduction Growing up I have wanted to do two things. Be paid to read, and be a librarian. I devour words. Words on the page, on the screen, or spoken. I need somewhere to talk about what I've read, and I have decided that this is the place. As I work in both youth and adult services, my reviews will run the gambit from youth to adult, fiction to nonfiction. There will be something for everyone!
Interests Reading Nesting (ie, fantasizing about decorating my dream house) Spending time outside
