Liz

by Joli

Occupation: Retail

City: Los Angeles, CA

Preferred Genres:
Nonfiction
Contemporary
Fantasy
Graphic Novel

Favorite Books:
The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri
A Darker Shade of Magic (trilogy) by V. E. Schwab
Yes, Please by Amy Poehler
Little Weirds by Jenny Slate

Reading Habits:
Nancy Drew and Junie B. Jones were my gateway drugs into reading in elementary school, and I began reading multiple books a week nonstop until I got to college. After graduating, I started finding myself with so much more time to read! Now, I listen to audiobooks to help me stay sane through LA traffic and wind down at night with whatever I’ve most recently picked up from the library.
