OLD-Vanessa Recommends

Vanessa comes to us after working for the Strand in NYC and a small bookstore callede Fabled in Waco, Texas. She likes a balance of fiction, non fiction and middle grade fiction. When it comes to adult fiction for her, the weirder the better. She loves craft history, nature writing and is newly interested in food writing. Vanessa also strongly believes that adults shouldn't miss out on the joy that is reading a children's book whether that is a silly picture book or a heartwarming middle grade fantasy.
