I am a native of Buffalo, NY, and I currently work as a Children's Librarian for a small public library branch in a suburb of Dallas, TX. I love getting an opportunity to talk to teens about great books.
A few years ago I realized that I was sick of slogging through adult novels only to be barraged by heavy violence, overly crude language, and depressing plot developments. I have quite an open mind, but there's only so much death and destruction a girl can take before she's had enough. I found myself seeking out YA novels more and more, and now they have become my favorite. While not always cheerful and upbeat, they do give a sense of hope to their readers, proving that the world can be a good place.
I started this blog as a way to remind myself what I thought of a book. I also wanted to give back to the book blogging community; if not for them, I might not have picked up many of the titles they have recommended.
When I'm not at work or reading, I love to knit and play video games. My current drug of choice is World of Warcraft, though I have wasted countless hours on The Sims games. I've recently rediscovered a love of bike riding, and can be found most Sundays riding around various parts of Dallas.
The best way to contact me is through email (molliereadsya at gmail dot com) or on Twitter (@molliekay)
I hope you enjoy!
