About manda-rae

manda-rae is a twenty-something avid reader who lives in Madison, Wisconsin.  When she's not reading, she's probably working in some type of technical support job.  She's lived in Wisconsin for over six years and still hates the snow.  Since she reads way too many books, she decided to start a blog.

Before the Wisconsin life, manda-rae studied biological engineering at Utah State University.  After getting her degree, she realized her chemistry minor was more interesting than her engineering major.  And what was and still is even more interesting than the minor is a really good book.

manda-rae's had too many instances where she picked up a book to read without ever realizing the fact that she had already read the book.  Hence she uses the blog as a really good book-tracking mechanism.

manda-rae's favorite genres include:

• Paranormal Fantasy

If you would like to contact manda-rae, you can email her at manda-rae(at)manda-rae-reads(dot)com.  Or you can look her up on Twitter or Goodreads.

And a special introduction goes to Gizmo, the dog who keeps her company.  He likes to cuddle and will lay on top of a book if he feels he's not getting enough attention.  Oh, and he likes to stick out his tongue randomly.
