Om migI recently graduated from UNF with a BA in English Lit. My interests are in folklore, linguistics, history, and children's books. Also, I love YA fantasy.

Currently I'm enrolled at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the SOIS, intending to earn an MLIS degree with an archives and records management concentration.

My absolute favorite things ever in fiction? unreliable narrators and well-done time travel. Lately I've been getting into manga and anime, as reflected in the more recent additions to my library.

The photo above is kind of old, but I felt after two years of me and my dog, it was time for a change. It's of me (natch) at the Castillo de San Marco in St Augustine - that city is what inspired me to become an archivist. :D

Om mitt bibliotekMy library pretty much represents the books I own or have owned while a member of LT. I collect American Girl and other series books, so there's a huge skew that way. Also, I used to want to be a children's or YA librarian, and I never got rid of books I bought as a kid or teenager, so they fill another chunk. And then there are the books I had to get for my undergrad courses - lots of English and American lit.

Eventually, I would like to add all the books I have read or enjoyed (in a separate collection from those I own), but that's nowhere near the top of my list.

I'd love recommendations based on what I already have, whether they're similar or not. I love reading so much and am always interested in branching out.

If I've entered incorrect information, please let me know so that I can correct the entries in my library!

My rating system:
- If I've read a book and enjoyed it or found it useful, it gets 3 stars.
- If I absolutely could not stand it, it gets 1 or 1/2 star.
- If I loved it and plan to reread it, it gets 4 stars.
- If it's a book I would take to a deserted island, it gets 5 stars.
- If I read it and liked it, but don't plan to reread, or I liked it in the past, but don't really care for it now, it gets 2 stars.

I'm not very strict to this, and I use half stars to give a bit of a buffer. I used to have like 25% of my library at 5 stars and felt that was overkill, so went back to re-rate things to make the ratings more indicative of how much I like the book and would reread it. It's more of a bell curve now. :)
