Hello, everyone! My name is Aleya Wheeler and I am the 2016-2017 Secretary of GLISA. I am proud to see this forum up and running, since it is a project of mine. I hope that everyone will really enjoy it.
I got my Bachelor's degree in English, May of 2015. I also minored in Medieval and Renaissance studies, mostly for the fun of it. I'm set to graduate in December of 2017 with my MLS. Currently I'm working at the Tyler Public Library as the acquisitions library assistant. I've been with the library since August 2015 and in the current position since December 2015. I hope to become a Young adult librarian once I finish up with my MLS.
Now, for the fun personal stuff.
First and foremost, I'm a reader. I also occasionally blog at Such a Novel Idea. Primarily I read Young Adult but I do branch out to other things from time to time, mostly for fantasy books or classics. My favorite series right now is Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas as well as George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones series and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I love fantasy, as you can tell. I also enjoy reading graphic novels. I got into them in 2015 thanks to ones I got for Christmas in 2014.
Besides reading, I love to watch TV shows. My favorites include Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead. I also really enjoy playing games of many sorts: PC, PS3, board games, and card games.
I hope to have lots of great discussions on this forum with everyone!
