About meIn brief: I am a Library and Information Sciences student about to earn her masters from the GSLIS program at UIUC. I currently work as a graduate assistant archivist for The HistoryMakers, an African American oral history project based out of Chicago.
Other interests include: cooking, travel, cycling, ice hockey, loads of different kinds of music, and more.

About my libraryI have a passion for travel writing, so you will notice a lot of my books cater to that kind of escapism; if I can't be abroad, I prefer reading about someone who is. Other than that genre, I own many books that are anthropology/culture-related, and a lot of historical fiction.
