How long have you worked at BookPeople?
8 months
What is your favorite thing about working here?
As a newcomer to the area, it’s been a great way to connect with the Austin community, whether through meeting customers at events, working with community partners, or going out to offsite conferences and events like SXSW!
What would be your first buy if you won the lottery?
An unreasonably large home library
What is your favorite literary quote?
“Books are letters in bottles, cast into the waves of time,
from one person trying to save world to another.”
(This Is How You Lose the Time War)
What five fictional characters would you invite to a dinner party?
Piranesi (Piranesi), Murderbot (The Murderbot Diaries), Mosscap (A Psalm for the Wild-Built), Aziraphale (Good Omens) and Percy (Percy Jackson & the Olympians).
I’m pretty sure they’d solve world peace by the end of the night, but…chaotically.
You have a time machine and one week to spend in any historical era. Where/when would you go?
“Historical” is a stretch here, but probably the 80s… or back to see the dinosaurs but lasting a whole week with them feels risky.

Hmmmm. Dolphin, I think.
