Meet Erin, the new Teen Librarian at Golden!
Favorite Teen Book: Oh man this is a tough one. I LOVE Neil Gaiman and I’ve read his Sandman series more times than I care to count. It’s debatable if it is appropriate for teens, but I first started reading it as a teen so there you go. I’d also go with Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher or the classic, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. Recently I loved The Fault in our Stars by John Green, Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor and the Hunger Games trilogy (natch!).
Favorite TV shows: Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Parks and Recreation, Doctor Who, Fringe, Vampire Diaries, Raising Hope & Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Joss Whedon still rules!).
Favorite all time movie(s): I so cannot choose just one here. I love movies! Here’s a shortlist of movies I love that you’ve probably never heard of: The Philadelphia Story, Rear Window, Now, Voyager, The Sweet Hereafter, Lola Montes, The Band Wagon, Rushmore, Goodfellas. I do enjoy ridiculous comedies too with Happy Gilmore and This is Spinal Tap at the top of the list. My favorite movie of last year was probably Drive.
Music I like: I am a pop music fan (Beyonce, JT, etc.) for the most part and that’s usually what I end up listening to when I’m cleaning and whatnot. I’m a rap fan too with Jay Z and Lupe Fiasco being my favorites. I love Kanye West’s music but not his irritating personality. I also love P.J. Harvey, Liz Phair and Lyle Lovett.
Favorite sport to watch: Oddly enough, golf.
Favorite sport to do: Yoga, softball, golf.
Favorite food to make: Pasta. (I’m lucky to have a husband who loves to cook, so I let him.)
Favorite food: I don’t have a particular favorite. I do consider myself a foodie though so I love to try all kinds of different things.
Places I have lived: Colorado, Georgia, Iowa
Places I have traveled: Thailand, Singapore, Mexico
Where I want to go next: Prague
Do I have a pet? I have three: A big, black lab named Royal (any Royal Tenenbaums fans out there?), a black cat named Tupelo and a fish named Pike.
Stop by Golden and say hello to her!
