Hi, I'm Melissa. You can usually find me poking around the YA section of Borders, you'd probably just mistake me for one of the 15 year olds lol But in fact, I am an ALA Card carrying Librarian working with K-5 students. I have a soft spot for YA Lit, fairy tale retellings (especially versions where the Princess kicks butt, and fractured fairy tales ) and anything inspired by folklore...as well as books with fantasy elements, mysteries, and anything creepy or supernatural. I grew up loving ghost stories and mysteries, and it still holds true. On my shelf you will also find plenty of classics, historical fiction, poetry, science fiction, and contemporary fiction and some nonfiction. I'm not a romance novel reader, I am only now just starting to test the waters of chick-lit....but I will, and have, read pretty much anything else.

I collect books faster than I can hope to read them, but I am trying to catch up ;)

I hope you enjoy browsing my shelf, feel free to friend me :) « less
