Who Am I?

Welcome to Book Blather! I’m Drea and I’ll be your hostess to my little corner of the universe.

So, who am I? First and foremost, I am a twenty-something Teen Services Librarian near Chicago, IL. Almost everything you will see me do here, will have my work in mind. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve adored YA literature way before becoming a librarian, but I find what I read nowadays is in effort to expand my reader advisory knowledge. This blog is my effort to provide honest reviews that I not only hope my readers will enjoy, but that will better my recommendations to my teens.

Outside of work/blogging, I’m your average geeky girl. At any given time you may find me lost through a camera lens, DnDing/playing board games with friends, or curled up watching T.V. with my cat. Of course, being a Librarian and an English Major, the bookish me is never fully turned off. You will often find me at author signings, book events, or having lunch with my favorite book-world friends.

You may notice that there used to be some co-bloggers, Jess & KB, that helped Book Blather get off the ground. You will still find some of their reviews in the Review Archive, but they have both return their attentions to their own blogs. I highly recommend checking out both their fabulous blogs.
