Real Name: Melissa
About My Library: Some of my collection was developed as an English major in college; I loved those contemporary British and American fiction classes. The rest are Library Science related materials from graduate school and leisure reading.
About Me: I'm a librarian and a Richard Dawkins fangirl. I have soft spots for magical realism, cooking/food writing, and British and French history.
