CALEIGH

by Joli January 28, 2018

Occupation: International Admissions Officer

City: Kingston, ON Canada

Preferred Genres:
Fiction, Historic or Current
Sometimes Fantasy, Sometimes Mystery, Sometimes Autobiographies

Favorite Books:
Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli

Reading Habits:
I used to be a very avid reader in my teens, and a testament to this is how many
YA authors are on my Goodreads top picks shelf. While fighting through my
undergraduate degree in Engineering, I definitely lost touch with my more
“right-brain” tendencies. After finishing school, I realized that I was missing
out on so much literature, both old and new.

I started to read about one book a month, but in 2017 I read more than 1 book a
week. I prefer print books, but I can be pretty hard on them. For travel and
ease of carry, I do have an IPad and will often read e-books or listen to
audiobooks, mostly through Hennepin County Library’s fantastic app, Overdrive.

For years, I was a member of Girly Book Club (Minneapolis Branch) as well as
Books and Bars. I find that this way, my reads are less limited to what I would
always choose, and I certainly have found some favourites that I would NEVER
have picked up otherwise! It also has allowed me to build a friend group of
likeminded women, and I feel much more comfortably situated in my life today as
a result of my reading habit. I am very excited to be a part of LQ, as I feel
that adding some analysis and writing to my intake of stories helps to both
diversify my bookshelf and improve my vocabulary and style!
