I work in circulation where I sneak photos of the many pretty books that grace my desk and sometimes even get around to reading them. I'll try any genre, but my loves are essays, plays, graphic novels and fiction. My other loves are making art, playing videogames, sniffing out new places around Columbus and being outside with my cat, Junimo!
