About Me

Greetings! Welcome to my blog Elegantly Bound Books where I read books, write reviews and just let you know whats on my mind.  I decided to start this blog when I realized that I didn't know anyone who reads the same kinds of books that I do.  While browsing the internet one day, I came across this amazing blogging community full of people who are just as passionate about reading as I am.  At that point, I knew I had to join. I have loved reading for as long as I can remember and I've always been the bookish nerd in my family.

Since this is the about me page, I guess this is where I tell you where I'm from, what I like to do and how old I am.  Well, I'm from Southern California and, obviously I like to read, and I am 28 years old.  I work at Disneyland and yes Mickey Mouse is my boss even though I wish I could read for a living. I currently hold a BA in History and a MA in Human Services.  I love to travel and at this point I have been to 7 different countries (not include the US) and I've seen about half of the states in the United States.  

A few more random things about myself: I love coffee and I try to collect coffee mugs from all the places I've visited, I never wear pink (apparently growing up I petitioned my church to ban pink from the youth group), I have one spoiled rotten cat named Rocket or as my roommate like to call him, Butterball, my favorite color is purple and I will do almost anything for chocolate!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at cgrant(at)liberty(dot)edu and I will be happy to respond!
