Always at the top of my list, my favorite book of all time.

A great YA author for fantasy novels.

I started reading Dragonriders of Pern when I was 13 and read up to her retirement. Her son's conceptualization of the universe is not the same.

An author of paranormal fiction. Primarily, I like the Mercedes Thompson series and the spin-off Alpha and Omega series. I enjoy werewolf novels.

I adore Peter Jackson's take on the trilogy. The Hobbit films won't stand the test of time the way the LOTR films will.

I'm a Ravenclaw. Enough said.

I loved the novels. The movies were pretty good, too.

Who doesn't love well-choreographed lightsaber fights?

My dad got me started on this when I was young and I've loved it ever since. Unlike other sci fi shows, Next Generation and TOS openly touch on many of the concerns and questions we have as human beings in an imperfect world. Even later series like Voyager (which I also enjoyed, though I wish they had kept Janeway's character consistent) touched on it somewhat. The new films I like, but not so much as the television series. I haven't seen Discovery yet; I'll get there.

SG-1 was a gem and Atlantis was fun. I skipped Universe, because the tone was very different and I don't enjoy sci fi series in that vein.

I love old films with Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, etc. The Marx Brothers are comedy gold. Hand me a good black-and-white film, and I'm content.

I love food. I love trying new recipes. Cooking is the #1 for people to get the food I love; if you want it done right...

I love baked goods, and so it stands to reason that I love to bake! Cupcakes, brownies, cookies... I have taken over all of the Christmas cookie baking for my family. I always mean to do only a few, but I made 13 kinds of cookies this past Christmas; we'll see how the list looks next Christmas.

I love to build jigsaw puzzles and will sometimes leave my dining room table extended as if we're having a large party so that I can set up a puzzle on the end of it.

I love playing board games. The Hawkwood Games Cafe recently opened in nearby Milford, and my husband and I took my stepdaughter down to check it out since they had such a wide range of games. We wound up staying and playing board games for five hours. We like a good board game-- or four.

I am not a competitive gamer by any means, but I do enjoy casually playing FPSs (e.g. Halo, L4D2, Overwatch), puzzle games (e.g. Portal, ), and the occasional MOBA (e.g. Heroes of the Storm, League of Legends).

Though I have read many of the classics due to my job, I typically prefer lighter reading and stick mostly to fantasy and some science fiction.

I have been teaching in my current position as a high school English teacher for four years. I currently teach all grades 9-12.

This will be my first Masters Degree. I have a BS in English Secondary Education from SCSU. I am currently pursuing a Masters of Ed Tech, but that may change to a cross-certification as a library media specialist. If anyone has been in my boat-- a teacher who chose to make the change to LMS-- please reach out and let me know how that has gone for you. I would love to talk to you.

I have been married for almost two years and my husband and I have been together for almost eleven years. I have one stepdaughter.
