¡Hola! My name is JC (pronouns: They/Them) and I am one of the newest members of the Extreme Reader team! Having the privilege of being a moderator and member of this year's challenge has been an absolute joy because of how much I am learning about what folks are currently reading and enjoying. If I had a superpower, it would probably be the ability to stop time so I could find a cozy nook somewhere and catch up with my reading list. Here are some neat things to know about me: - Besides being new to the Extreme Reader Challenge, I am also new to Tacoma Public Library! Currently, you can catch me at the Swasey Library (and sometimes Mottet!) where I work as an associate
- Before the library, I worked in the world of harm-reduction specifically with HIV prevention and education within Spanish speaking communities
- Pupusas are my favorite food in the world, and I have to say that Tacoma has some of the best pupuserias I've ever been to
- Short story fiction is what you will most likely find on my bookshelf, although I also find myself also reading a lot of Young Adult fiction and Science Fiction
- I'm a big video game nerd and along with books, gaming has really provided me with some fun and much needed escapism.
Enjoy a few of my personal recommendations below for titles that fit the 2021 categories, linked to the TPL catalog:
