By day, I am the head of the media center (very fancy name for a librarian) and a teacher of information and digital literacy at an all-girl high school. This means I am a prolific reader of Young Adult books; I also love general contemporary fiction as well as memoirs.In my previous life as a university lecturer, I corrupted young minds in the English and Media Studies Department. In another life as a journalist, I was an editor and a feature writer, covering mainly lifestyle pieces, and I wrote occasional humorous newspaper columns. At least, I thought they were funny. And so did my brother's mother-in-law.In my current life, I have husband who's a geek in denial, two daughters who have inherited both their parents' love of reading, and two Guinea pigs that appeared in our home while I was away at a conference whose existence I don't acknowledge to my family. The Guinea pigs' existence. Not the conference's. (Update: One of the Guineas has gone to Guinea heaven. It wasn't me. I swear.)view less
