Non-bookish Freebie: All About Me
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about myself on here, so let’s do it! I can’t promise there won’t be anything bookish on it tho lol
-I’m a librarian. I started out in Circulation, I went on to become a Children’s Specialist (someone who does Children’s programming without the degree), once I got my degree I went on to become a YA librarian, and then I finally just landed on Collection Development in our administration offices in 2020. I buy the YA and the MG for our entire library system. (We have 26+ branches)
-Because of this I read mostly YA and MG because I like to be able to know what I’m talking about when recommending them to the librarians at the branches.
-I read anything as long as its YA or MG. If it’s adult, I’m mostly going to navigate to romance, thrillers, and horror. I will always go for those that are diverse in some way.
-I love sports. If the book is about a sport I’m going to immediately add it to the top of my TBR pile. It doesn’t matter what its about. And if its sports romance or sports horror I guess, it makes it even better.
-Audiobooks are my way of reading because I have a preschooler and he is a busy bee. And with work, homework, dinner, etc. if I don’t use audios, I wouldn’t get any reading done. It’s strange because I used to say I can’t read audios. But then I started listening to audio CD’s in my car when I had no choice to do anything else. And then I started listening to e-audios where I learned I could speed it up and now my ADHD doesn’t hinder me at all. It’s been a journey, but I’ve found what works for me.
-I’m a night owl. Which SUCKS because I have to start work at 7 am.
-Summer is my favorite season, but my my favorite types of books are released in the Fall during their big releases (like September has all the scary books and October has all the holiday books lol)
-My favorite things to do while reading: Cleaning. My favorite reading snacks: Sour Patch anything and hot cheetos. Lately I’ve been really loving the Miss Vickie’s Spicy Dill chips as well.
-I’ve always been a reader. I started when I was 4 and my mom doesn’t know how I learned. I’ve been reading ever since. I started this blog because of a college assignment. I wrote “Psych notes” for the woman in the yellow wallpaper. I ended up keeping it to talk about the books I DID like, and I’ve kept it up for the last 15 years.
-I have a pit bull and a chihuahua and I’m a boy mom. So yeah, I basically don’t have any time to myself lol They’re all stuck to me like velcro.
What are some random facts about you? Do we share anything? Let me know in the comments!
Oh nice! If I absolutely had to I would probably try succumbing to audiobooks as well but I can never pay attention well if I don’t have it in my hands. My mind drifts even when I listen to music and then I don’t really hear the lyrics either. But you do what you gotta do to read! I love how you came to audiobooks though!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
