I currently work in an elementary school library, which I love. There is nothing better than helping a child find the book that they love, that they can't stop reading. I am like a book matchmaker, I match people to books. I do this with friends too.
I am available to read and review books on request - ask away! I would love it! Just email me at quixoticmagpie@gmail.com with details As for e-books, right now I am able to accept formats for Nook, iBooks and Kindle. So if your ebook fits these formats, or is an actual physical book, email me. I love books that are set in the South, in Paris, in the 20s, horror, ghost, romance, set in New England, chick lit, are magical realism, and books with happy endings. I am not a fan of sad books, science fiction, or crime thrillers. I will read mysteries ( I loved the Benjamin January series by Barbara Hambly) and thrillers but not that often.
My favorite authors include Stephen King, Alice Hoffman, Carol Goodman, Pam Houston, Lorna Landvik, Anne Rice (not her religious ones), Jennifer Cruisie, Sarah Addison Allen, Pat Conroy, Anne River Siddons, Connie May Fowler, and Larry McMurtry.
Other than reading, I love animals, animal rescue, photography, kayaking, cooking, gardening, and hiking with my husband.
