My name is Tirzah Price, and I'm from a small town in Michigan. I hold a BA in English, with minors in Spanish in French. I've been accepted to Vermont College of Fine Arts, in the MFA program in Creative Writing for Children & Young Adults, which I'll start in July 2013.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, paranormal books with highly inventive and innovative twists, dystopian books that are well thought out 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.
