bib·li·o·phile
ˈbiblēəˌfīl/
noun
- a person who collects or has a great love of books.
I am a reader, a bibliophile if you must. I have three bookshelves and boxes of books I own under my bed. I have an additional bookshelf devoted to library materials and often have to sort through to return items so I have enough room for them. I love to read. One of my classmates said he reads because he lives and I find this to be an adequate reason for reading. I read because I am alive, I read to see the world, to experience it in new ways. I read to learn, but also to meet friends and know what it is like to live through wars, to experience being an only child or life on the moon.
This fall (2014) marks the beginning of my Masters in Library Science program. For my young adult literature class we are required to read forty-one books and keep a reading journal. They are to be made available to my classmates at the end of the course, though with the number of patrons and friends asking for book recommendations I decided perhaps a blog would be a useful option. Since this is for school, feel free to comment with any errors you notice, I would love the best grade possible once I turn it in!
With that, I thank you for reading this. The reason for writing will be for class, though I may continue to do so if there is enough interest after the course has completed.
Happy reading!
Nicole
