About Ciara

I'm Ciara O'Shea, and I'm a new librarian who hopes to be gainfully employed soon.  l just finished my MLIS (Masters of Library and Information Studies) in lovely Montreal and someday soon I will be an actual librarian  because it will be in my job title, and not just written on my heart.

I started this blog after I finished my Masters in English Lit, and I really wanted to keep on writing about all the great and not-so-great books I was reading. In 2011, I did the Cannonball Read where I tried to read and review a book a week all year. The reading was easy, the reviewing was hard, so I probably won't do that again... at least for a while.

I love books, obviously, but my favourite thing of all time is story. So I love movies, I love both making and listening to music, and I can actually stand spoken word, because I'm there for the stories that come out.

I also love reviews. I want to hear how other people felt, what other people thought because I love the comparisons. I love the way that everyone sees things differently, and I really love disagreeing with someone, but still learning from their views.

I hate people clapping in unison.
