Allison

by Joli

Occupation: Baby Wrangler (former English teacher staying at home for now)

City: St. Paul, MN

Preferred Genres:
Contemporary fiction
Realistic Fiction
Dystopian/Sci-fi
Memoirs/Biographies

Favorite Books:
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix  by JK Rowling
The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston

Reading Habits:
It all started with Goodnight Moon when I was 3. I don’t think I’ve stopped reading since. I read any spare moment I have. When I don’t have any spare time, I avoid all responsibilities and continue reading. Audiobooks have allowed me to increase the number of books I read. I was finally able to stop reading in the car at red lights! As a natural introvert, I crave the escape that books provide.
