About meI'm Jenn Hilgeman, a library science student attending Indiana University, Indianapolis. I hope upon graduating to find a Young Adult librarian position somewhere other than in Indiana (as I've found that there is really not much more than corn in the Hoosier state).

About my libraryI read a lot. I mean a lot. Most of the books I own and have read are not listed here because I can't remember them all. As I wish to become a YA librarian, a good number of the books in my library are Young Adult. I have turned to a few Adult books here lately (maybe now my parents won't make fun of me for reading "kiddie books"), like Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.

I enjoy a good fantasy novel, provided it's not too outrageous, and I've been known to read historical fiction, depending on the time period and location. I like a story that allows me to escape the stress and drama of my everyday life, so I'm generally not too big on realistic fiction. Good characters are a must. Sometimes I will tolerate a less-than-stellar plot if the characters appeal to me.
