Me, Myself, and I

Whoa! It’s been way too long since I’ve last posted here, and that is a huge testament to how busy my life has been these past few months. Here’s a quick update:

  • Back in May, I graduated with my Master’s in Library and Information Science from Kent State University with a 3.98 GPA. It was exhilarating and yet also very scary, as I spent most of April and May searching for a job! (And they are few and far between in the library world!)
  • On the day before graduation, I was offered a position at OverDrive, a digital distributor of eBooks and audiobooks, working with libraries (specifically, school and college libraries).
  • I started working at OverDrive in late May, and ever since it’s been a whirlwind, learning new things, meeting new people, actually having to get up every day and go to work – ahh!
  • I’ve only just now been able to get back into reading!

And there is the brief update on my life, and other wonderful things. I’m very fortunate to be employed right now, and I’m really enjoying my job and all I’m learning! I’m finally also reading like crazy again. I’m currently working my way through Fallen by Lauren Kate, and a reread of The Hunger Games. I’m working on a program with my YALSA mentor for THG, so I need freshen up on the story!

I also recently purchased a Nook, which is my new best friend, and I am crazily downloading books from my local library, through, who else, OverDrive! So, please, keep reading, and look for some new, fresh reviews soon. Can’t wait to get back into blogging!
