Ann Mary Berks grew up in rural Pennsylvania, where her nine aunts and uncles and other assorted book-loving adults would read to her whenever she asked. She loves reading, traveling to bookish places (the legit best day of her life was the day she literally stood On the Banks of Plum Creek) and writing about books and readers above all other non-human things. She definitely thinks audiobooks count as reading. Ann Mary Berks lives in sunny central Florida with her partner and some assorted pets.
