What is a new release you’re looking forward to?
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune! My colleague Nicole has been raving about this book for months and it sounds like such a delightful, perfect summer read for fans of Harry Potter and Good Omens.

What was your favorite summer read as a teen?
I was always reading as a kid but there really weren’t a lot of teen books which is probably why I love to read Young Adult novels now! My favorite YA of all time is Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell!

What are you reading now?
The Third Reich by Thomas Childers, and The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin. I’m looking forward to finally reading Patricia Highsmith’s short stories and How Much of These Hills is Gold by C Pam Zhang.
