Hello, bookworms!
​
I'm Amy, a lifelong book lover; dedicated bookstore loiterer and library friend; longtime book club member; and committed book hoarder. I read about 100 books a year, and in between I create lists of favorite books, write reviews, and develop greedy, completely unmanageable ideas of all the books I want to read next.
For years I was an editor at a wonderful book publisher, and I've been a freelance book editor for many years since.
The common theme here is, of course, an obsession with books.
​
Some of my favorite genres to read are young adult; historical fiction; fantasy and science fiction; contemporary fiction; mystery and suspense, and intersections of the genres above. I have minor obsessions with spy tell-alls; books exploring death (and lives well lived); thoughtful or juicy celebrity memoirs; varied nonfiction; and books set in Alaska, Russia, Australia, the American West, and Appalachia.
​
I hope The Bossy Bookworm will offer you ideas of books you'd like to spend time reading, and I'd love to hear what you think.
​To talk books or to share suggestions, please feel free to comment, e-mail, follow me on Goodreads, and/or subscribe to the mailing list.
Happy reading!

​Review Policy
I request and review some prepublication books via NetGalley; scour lots of book lists; and generally read whatever strikes my fancy (or whichever book is due back to the library first). Because I'm busy being a Bossy reader, I don't review upon request. Thanks for understanding.
