Reading Profile

I love to read, and will typically read anything I can get my hands on. My Mom always swore I would even read the phonebook if I was desperate enough, it hasn't come to that but I have read the road atlas. My obsession with reading started in late elementary/ junior high. It took me about a year maybe less to outgrow the children's section and go looking for more books to read.

I believe I have read every genre at some point in time as my reading tastes have changed. My favorite genres are Young Adult, Fantasy, Mystery, and Adventure. I have also read Christian Fiction, Christian Romance, and Romance extensively.  I started reading YA because I teach teenagers and wanted to have something to talk to them about, I fell in love with the genre especially Dystopian Fiction. I just finished Yellow Brick War by Danielle Paige a book 3 of a series based on what happens after Dorothy left Oz.  I  recently became interested in narrative nonfiction books and I am looking to read more of this genre as well. I also enjoy reading books that are being made into movies, I am always checking to see what movies are coming out that are based on books so I have time to read them first.

I also frequently listen to audiobooks while driving to and from work, I enjoy this time immensely. I am currently listening to The Bronze Gauntlet by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black.
