Mary loves to read widely, but she especially loves fantasy, science fiction, and narrative nonfiction. Mary reads to escape the real world and loves being immersed in new worlds with strong characters and relationships, and lots of adventure. She also enjoys narrative nonfiction (which reads more like a novel) about history, current events and politics, and collected biographies. She's also happy to help younger readers find picture books, middle grade fiction, and teen fiction.
