The Bibliophiles Biblio-Files

We are three great friends who met on a study abroad to London in 2009. We LOVE reading and thought we'd start a bookclub and share any brilliant thoughts and recommendations that we have. Enjoy and happy reading!

~Alyson, Katie, and Sam

Alyson
Favorite book(s): They Loved to Laugh, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, East of Eden... who can pick?
Favorite genres: historical fiction and memoirs
Literary expertise: Mostly I'm just really good at being sucked into a story. When I'm reading something really good, you can forget talking to me until I'm finished. I devour anything I can get my hands on. One year when I had an extra long commute, I read at least one book every week.

Katie
Favorite book(s): The Lord of the Rings
Favorite genres: fantasy and historical fiction
Literary expertise: reading tons of books! I love to always be reading something and usually several books at once. I even read >100 books for fun during my 2-year master's program!

Sam
Favorite book(s): Cold Sassy Tree, The Book Thief, The Forgotten Garden...and at least 30 more I shall refrain from listing here...
Favorite genre: Fiction in all its guises.Literary expertise: I've been an avid reader since six months old (my mom would put me in the crib with some books and I'd entertain myself for hours). I have a BA in English, with an emphasis in Creative Writing. I worked as a Tutor/Editor at the SUU Writing Center for 4 years. I've worked in several libraries, and I love attempting to write books myself.
