Informally, Queen of the Book Elves
I'm a long time fan of words and books! I've loved reading and writing since I've known how to. As a mother of three active school aged children, I don't have nearly as much time to read as I'd like to, but I supplement with audio books on Libro.fm. I just finished "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman and it had me both laughing out loud and wiping a few tears from my eyes. It is a wonderful book, and I will definitely be reading more of his books in the future. My favorite books are typically character driven stories in any genre, but mostly feel-good general fiction. I love to forget I am reading a book and feel like I am an extra in the story and know the characters.
