Introduction | I've decided that librarians need to blog. They also need to have cats. That's why now I have a blog named after my cat. That's his short name. His long name is Oki Doki Arichokie Hummous-face Snowcat Pajama Pants Crookshanks. If I only have one cat, but he has a really long name, does that make him count as more than one cat? Because I really need a better librarian job, but I'm actually more of a dog person. It should also be noted that I have three awesome kids. Right now they are eight, 13 and 15. The older two are steps and all three love books at least as much as I do. I read for the Eliot Rosewater Indiana High School Book Award committee, so if I mention "Rosie," that's what I mean. |
Interests | YA Books, picture books, other media, kids (esp. mine), nature, technology, monkeys |
Favorite Movies | I really sort of love Barton Fink. I'm also pretty crazy about the Planet of the Apes movies. |
Favorite Music | I like growly folks like Tom Waits and squeaky ones like Victoria Williams. I also like broody so-and-so's like The Mountain Goats. My lifetime favorite is absolutely They Might Be Giants. |
Favorite Books | The Book Thief is my favorite overall YA book. Into the Beautiful North is my fave YA book I've read this year. I also heart Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Zora Neale Hurston. |
