About Me

First off, I'm really into children's literature. Visit my blog, Bri MeetsBooks.com , where I review books for publishers/authors. If you want a review, message me about your book or ARC.

I want to be a professor and specialize in women's and children's literature.
I'm also into sketch comedy. I want to write for Saturday Night Live one day. I perform improv and write odd sketches.
Sometimes I'm funny. I make a mean chai shake. I've seen Notting Hill more times than I'd like to know. I don't like stairs, bridges, and other stationary objects.
Once, during an improv show, I was asked to act out transpiration, the evaporation of water from plants. ..I like to think it's my plant process imitation skills that make me a well-rounded and interesting individual.
