I work in youth services and read books of all kinds, but I particularly love those that make me laugh, cry or go back in time. When I'm not working my way through all the teetering stacks of books in my house, I enjoy taking long walks with my dog, binge-watching TV shows and finding new ways to combine carbs and cheese.
