A NOVEL IDEA BOOKSTORE - Key Persons
I started the bookstore when I was a senior in college - so the shop and I sort of grew up together. I love being a part of this community. It's especially meaningful to me that people who were first brought into the shop as babies - whom I'd hold while their parents shopped - now come in with babies of their own. One of my favorite things to do is to recommend books to people. Finding that good fit. Personally, I like to read all kinds of things: Children's Books, Literature, Mysteries, History, Cookbooks, Science… Reading books is like dining out. You wouldn't compare a diner to a four-star restaurant. You just want whatever it is to be a great example of whatever it's trying to be. I also enjoy working with Rare books. It's exciting to hold history and feel that human connection.
I have been working here since 1994 and I can't think of any place I would rather be. I love the customers and how they react when we find something perfect for them, and the fact that I can learn something new every day. My book tastes are varied-I enjoy History, Mystery, Fantasy, Psychology, and Epidemiology. Some of my favorite books include Watership Down by Richard Adams, The Magus by John Fowles, and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
