Who I Am & What I Do

Hello and welcome to Celebration of Books! I’m Sarah, a thirty-something former indie bookstore manager in the Philadelphia suburbs and current middle school teacher. I love books, and I hope you’ll find a book or two here that you’ll enjoy as well!

My sister, Laura, also contributes reviews from time to time so you’ll see her as the author of some reviews, or occasionally a post with reviews from us both!
