About My Library

Because I am a librarian who loves connecting patrons with books, I read a lot of books to learn and practice Readers Advisory, not always out of personal desire. A "good book" is one you enjoy -- regardless of other's opinions!

My "reviews" are generally annotations, not critiques. My text will (almost) always try to highlight the positive reasons to appreciate the book. However, my star ratings are based on my personal likes and dislikes.

Links I want handy:
Fiction Appeal Characteristics Adjectives

About Me
My passion is connecting people with stories they enjoy, regardless of format.

Currently, I am the Collection Services Manager at Naperville Public Library (NPL) in Naperville, IL.

Share and Enjoy!
