About meCheck out my food blog, Cave Cibum, my craft blog, Making Islands, and my book blog, The Reading Mouse.
I am a YA librarian and former bookseller in the Boston area. I am an avid genre reader (sci-fi, fantasy, horror) and try to keep up on YA of all genres. And I can rip through graphic novels like they're going out of style.

It's Amy from Simmons. I'm a huge Beatles fan... so hence the username. I may change it later, depending on my mood.
Have a great summer!

ps. I was so glad King released the last 3 fairly quickly instead of drawing it out.

I found a recipee of halva that I tried years ago. Maybe I should try again.
I don't know the weather at your place, but can be cold.
I will send you something that tastes very good.

Have you read any Douglas Copeland? His Generation X is similar to Fight Club, but better. Hehe. ^_^V
Neil Gaiman is great, too, and somewhat similar to Mark Danielewski. There are elements of the absurd and the fantastic in both authors' work, although it may not seem that way at first. I'm in the processing of rereading Gaiman (and reading more of his stuff that's new to me, as I was late coming in to his sect). Also try Thomas Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49.
Let me know what you think. =)

Had I only known you had it at the LT gathering I'd have talked your ear off. :-)
