How long have you worked at Lemuria? 6 months
What do you do at Lemuria? Check out/answer phones/keep the religious section nice and tidy
Talk to us about what you’re reading right now. Just finished Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. It’s great! Now I’m onto Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler.
What’s currently on your bedside table (book purgatory)? The After Party by Anton Disclafani, The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson, and several YA books.
How many books do you usually read at a time? I love to read multiple books at the same time. Usually 2-3, but I’ve done up to 5. I like having options if I get bored with one, and it makes each story seem fresh when I return to it.
I know it’s difficult, but give us your current top five books.
(I’m guessing you mean “of all time,” right?)
5. If You Find This Letter by Hannah Brencher
4. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
3. Holes by Louis Sachar
2. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
1. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
Favorite authors?
Rainbow Rowell, Leigh Bardugo, Victoria Schwab
Any particular genre that you’re especially in love with?YA, memoirs, and books with magic
What did you do before you worked at Lemuria? After I graduated from college, I went to work at the Grand Canyon for the summer. I was at the front desk at the North Rim Lodge.
If you could share lasagna with any author, dead or alive, who would it be? What would you ask them?
Louisa May Alcott, and I would ask her, (SPOILER) “Why in the world didn’t you let Jo and Laurie be together in your book?! They were meant to be!”
Why do you like working at Lemuria?
I love the bookish community and how many authors and great reads I’ve discovered because of Lemuria. And the people are awesome! Plus, it’s super cozy (have you seen our green carpet?).
If we could have any living author visit the store and do a reading, who would you want to come?
J.K. Rowling, duh! But I would probably be making a scene with all my ugly crying over how happy I was to be in the same room as her.
If Lemuria could have ANY pet (mythical or real), what do you think it should be?
I’ve actually discussed this with someone in detail. It would be a bear. His name would be Bear E. Hannah, and we would train him to grab books off the shelf for us. However, he would never bring the right one, so we’d comically be like, “Bear E!” And he would get into other hilarious shenanigans while wearing a Lemuria t-shirt.
If you had the ability to teleport, where would you go first?
Harry Potter World at Universal Studios!
