Age 30+ ... A Lifetime of Books: Upcoming CityLit Festival in Baltimore

Who AM I?

That's a good question ... I'm a daughter, a wife, a mother, a sister, a friend ... and there's so much more! But for the purpose of this blog I am a first and foremost a reader.

When I was in the first grade I read The Hobbit and my love of Fantasy took root. By the time I left elementary school I had completed the entire series as well as The Belgariad by David Eddings. Seventh grade brought me the beginning of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series ... which is still not complete. High school and college introduced me to the classics and to history. My reading disappeared for several years when I had a child. Then I started a book club and it came back in full force.

Today I read anything that catches my eye ... at the moment that includes historical fiction, fantasy, literary fiction, and any titles I find interesting. I'm always on the lookout for the next great find ... any suggestions?

Readers in the Baltimore vicinity, be sure to check out the CityLit Festival on April 16th! The event features a widely varied group of authors and poets, some of whom have connections to the Maryland area.

The authors who caught my attention on the schedule are Jessica Anya Blau (The Summer of Naked Swim Parties, and Drinking Closer to Home), Angela Balcita (Moonface), and Jaimy Gordon (Lord of Misrule).

Check out the CityLit schedule and see if there are any authors that YOU don't want to miss!
