MEET THE STAFF
|
Library Assistant II at Coolidge Corner Emerald Antell
|
|
|
|
|
First literary crush (author or character): Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. (To be honest that crush never went away.)
|
|
|
Last song you listened to: Freedom by Beyonce (in a great #FreedomForGirls video)
|
|
Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw.
|
|
|
Name a word that starts with the letter Q: Quintessential.
|
|
|
If you could travel back in time, what period would you go to? I'm on an Outlander kick right now so probably early 18th century Scottish Highlands.
|
|
|
|
|
Big dogs or small dogs? ALL dogs.
|
|
|
Hardcover or paperback? Paperback for the sake of portability.
|
|
|
Fictional world or game you'd most like to visit? Skyrim.
|
|
|
What book would you most like to see turned into a top-notch film or miniseries? The Kingkiller Chronicles.
|
|
|
Favorite fictional librarian? Belle from Once Upon a Time.
|
|
|
Favorite Jane Austen character? Isabella Thorpe from Northanger Abbey. She's a horrible person, but she's such an entertaining character to read.
|
|
|
|
|
Movie or TV show you always watch when it comes on screen, no matter what: I've seen the entire Friends series about 50 times at this point, so that or any time there's a Harry Potter marathon.
