How long have you been working at Riverbend Books?
8 years
And what's your job?
Children's Literature Consultant
What do you like best about working at Riverbend?
Working with a very warm and genuine group of people, the lovely customers that I have worked with over the years and reading all the wonderful children's books.
What's been your favourite event or story?
My favourite event that I have worked at was the launch of Wundersmith by Jessica Townsend. We had around 450 very excited children and their parents attend. There was a life size snow globe to jump in, food trucks, a wonderful chat with the author and book signings.
If we were to come to you for recommendations, what kind of books do you like best?
I enjoy reading YA and Middle Years Fiction. Although I do love a good Australian contemporary story I am always drawn to stories set in historical or fantasy worlds.
Lastly, what are you currently reading?
I have just read and really loved Diary of a Naturalist by Dara McAnulty (which was a really different, slow and contemplative read) and The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix.
