About meThis fall, I'll be entering my fourth year at Pennsylvania State University with History and Psychology as my majors. I like to read fantasy for the most part. I prefer urban fantasy and other more modern fantasy books than high fantasy. I also do read some historical fantasy as well. As for fiction, I read mostly history books as I need to read several books for my classes and I enjoy reading history books on my own as well.

My other hobbies include writing, playing video games and exploring movies via my Netflix account as I am very unfamiliar with several cultural references for some odd reason and it's the cheapest legal way to watch anime in subtitles that I can think of. I also watch foreign films as well.

The areas of history that I am particularly interested in are the two World Wars and European nationalism before those wars.

My two goals in life is to be a published writer and to teach in university. If I accomplish the second goal, I will have likely achieved the first, but I want to write fiction as well as non-fiction. I have several stories in mind for that.

About my libraryIt's hard for me to describe my library. It's composed of a lot of fantasy books, YA fiction, and history books. Otherwise, I don't know how to describe it. What you see here on LibraryThing are not all the books I own since most of them have been in storage and I've been unable to catalog them. Which includes over 50 volumes of manga.
