Biography:
I am an English lit major with a minor in Shakespeare studies. While I always enjoy a heavy read such as John Milton's Paradise Lost, I very much like to read newer works, particularly those in the non-fiction genre or historical fiction. I am a lifelong learner have said many times that my dream is to be a professional student and just keep going to school. My two kids are learning a love for reading as well and I find it vitally important that they understand the value of a good book.
