Alana
Hello, Dear Friends.
I’m Alana. I’m a thirty-two-year-old grad student, learning the joys of librarianship. Before that, I received an AA in English and a BA in literature. One of the many, many, many things I had to do during my time in undergrad was create and maintain a blog. This was nothing new to me, as I have a Livejournal (albeit a “friends-locked” one), but I found that I enjoyed writing about classes and, especially, books.
I looooove books. I’ve read voraciously since I was a child. I was that kid in school who had to be sent to another grade to be in the right reading level. When not in school, I tend to read a book a day, sometimes more. My favorite things to read are comic books, chick lit, manga, romance novels, classics, mysteries, and the occasional really depressingly beautiful book. Since I’ve been reading so much for school, I tend to balance out the heaviness of that with light reads, but I’m not excusing it. I’m loving it.
Now that I’ve graduated from Stockton, I still want to blog about books but I don’t want to be on a school server. So here I am. And here you are.
Shall we?
PS This blog goes from PG-13 (in reviews and such) to R (in recaps only, pretty much). Don’t be fooled by the classy layout.
