- About My Library
Though I've read a great deal of non-fiction, I prefer fiction. My two favorite genres are science fiction and mystery with fantasy a close third. I'll read just about anything that seems like it'll be interesting or enjoyable.
- About Me
Information & Library Science M.S. student at SUNY Buffalo (anticipated completion Fall 2023). PhD in modern U.S. cultural & comic book history (SUNY Buffalo, 2021). 2019-20 Swann Fellow at Library of Congress. M.S. and B.S. in history (SUNY College at Brockport, 2012; 2013). A.S. in Liberal Arts (Monroe Community College, 2009). Rochesterian.
U.S. cultural history is my primary subject area, but I'll read just about anything that interests me and am a fan of comics, sci-fi/fantasy, detective novels, and histories of science. I'll always give a book that looks or sounds interesting the benefit of the doubt and read it.
All opinions are my own.
