Hi all! I found the book blog a few months ago and have really enjoyed it. I am a 27 year old mother of 5 dogs. I work in Serials Acquisitions in a local University Library. I live in Virginia but was born and raised in Alabama. I love to read. My biggest problem is that I read too many books at once. Fortunately, I'm a fast reader. Unfortunately, I'm always adding more books to my "to read list" while I'm at work. I really enjoyed discussing Middlesex. I'm almost finished with Life of Pi.
I joined the book blog to get more involved in the reading of fiction. I read mainly non-fiction with my favorite being travel books. My favorite author is Bill Bryson. A close second is Anne Rice, whom I have adored since childhood. I also read a lot of adolescent literature. I've taken many classes on the subject and even planned to be a 7th grade English teacher. Through some teaching experiences, I discovered it wasn't the job for me. I eventually plan to earn an MLS degree. I'd love to be a Children's Librarian, but other aspects of library work, such as public policy and collection development, also interest me. So hello to all and thanks for letting me join!
