I've got the best job in the world. I'm the adult books buyer here at the store, which means I get to decide (with the help of all our awesome booksellers) what books we are going to sell. I've worked at BookPeople on and off for eight years. I love the store and not just because of the great staff and great books, but also because it is where I met my husband. We've been married almost five years and now bring our nine-month old son, Oliver, in to terrorize the store whenever we can.

I will read almost anything I can get my hands on but tend to read literary fiction. I especially love stories set in South Asia. Like all staff members here at the store, I get to read books well before they are published so I've included some titles that I'm anxious to start selling once they are released later this year.

Here are some of my favorite books:
