Anne

by Joli

Occupation: Freelance Writer/Editor

City: Youngstown, OH

Preferred Genres:
Literary Fiction
Essays
Nonfiction
Thriller

Favorite Books:
Middlemarch by George Eliot
Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry
I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith
Bird by Bird by Ann Lamott
Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh

Reading Habits:
Carnivorous. I’ve never been able to regulate my reading like some people can, thirty minutes before bed or over morning coffee, even though it sounds like bliss. It’s either all or nothing, most of the time. If I can put the book down, I most likely won’t pick it up again. I love reading while I eat, which has lead to a lot of my books being covered in multicolored fingerprints and their spines being crushed by whatever heavy object I found to prop it open. I’m jealous of people who can keep their books in spotless condition – the more I loved a book, the worse it looks.
