About meI'm a 24 year old medical librarian, working for a branch library of a major university in North Florida. It's not a field I ever imagined being in, but I've been enjoying the ride so far.

My interests include music, quoting The Office and Flight of the Conchords like it's my job, trying not to suck at Guitar Hero and failing miserably, wine, photography, history, plotting my eventual move to Charleston (even if it does take years), and obsessing over the ups and downs of the University of Georgia football team.

About my libraryMy library is mostly general fiction, history, and some occasional essay collections. I have a huge "To Be Read" pile that somehow never seems to dwindle... I also rarely keep books (unless they have sentimental value), so my "Read but unowned" collection will always be larger than my permanent library. I'll read almost anything, so suggestions are welcomed.

I use the following as a scale for rating books:
5 stars- Excellent. Would recommend it to everyone I know and would probably re-read it if given the chance.
4 stars- Great. Would recommend it to almost everyone I know.
3 stars- Good. Would recommend it to a select group of people.
2 stars- Okay. Probably wouldn't recommend it.
1 star- Bad, really bad. Would probably try to dissuade others from reading it.
