My name is Tirzah Price, and I'm from a small town in Michigan. I hold a BA in English, and I'm currently pursuing an MFA at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Writing for Children & Young Adults.I've been blogging here since 2007, and have been reviewing books since 2005. Like most every other book blogger out there, I've loved books of all kinds since before I could read (not a hyperbole). YA fiction really is my passion, and I just love recommending books and talking with other readers, online and in person at my job at my local independent bookstore. (I also hand out a ton of bookmarks and other swag, so if you have any and want to put them in the hands of readers--talk to me!)
The types of books that I fall in love with are varied, but I like in-depth and complicated fairy tale retellings, fantasy epics with strong heroines, speculative fictions with highly inventive and innovative twists, science fictions novels that are detailed and thought-provoking, contemporary stories with strong voices, and historical fiction that takes me to a place in time I've never visited before. And one element that I'd have to say is a common denominator for nearly every book I've enjoyed is humor--I love to laugh.
Do you have a question, or a suggestion for a blog feature? I also love to just talk about books, so feel free to shoot me an email at thecompulsivereader@gmail.com.
