Hi all! My name is Kimberly (she/her) and I'm one of the mods of this group. I'm from Northern Utah and have lived there all my life. I'm married and have two young boys. I am a professor of Library and Information Science by day and a book junkie by night!
My favorite genres include Speculative, Thrillers, and Mysteries but I read a little bit of everything include Romance, Middle Grade, Graphic Novels, and Non Fiction.
Tanya and I run a blog that used to be known as Girlxoxo. We have since moved to ChapterAdventure.com . You can find me on Instagram @chapter_adventure
