I am a member of the Book Squad at LPL, and I may or may not be LeVar Burton's Best Friend Forever (or at least that's what my business card says). I like unreliable narrators, epic fantasy, kissing books, old movies, and any books with queer characters. (I also run the Queer Book Club at LPL!)

Specializations

Finding that one book you thought was lost
LGBTQIA+ recommendations
Fun facts about Harry Styles
