Maggie
Job Title: Digital Marketing Assistant
Favorite place to read: I love reading outside in the sun, but my favorite spot has to be on the couch with my cat Cleo and a fantasy ambience video on the TV!
Favorite reading snack/beverage: A Coke, a little something salty, and a little something sweet.
Hardcover, paperback, or ebook? I’m a strong believer in paperbacks. I always steer towards printed books because I love that new book smell, and paperbacks are so convenient to toss in my bag and always have on hand!

Book(s) you think everyone should read: The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, and I really enjoyed Going Postal by Terry Pratchett recently, so everyone should read so they can laugh with me!
Bookmark or dog ear? Both! Bookmark my spot, dog-ear good lines that I’ve underlined so I can go back and write them down later
Hot pink or bright blue? BLUEEE!
Andie

Bookmark or dog ear? I cannot emphasize this enough: BOOKMARK. I would rather lose my place than dog ear a book. Also, bookmark is a relative term. Any paper product will suffice.

Isabella
Job Title: Marketing Assistant
Favorite place to read: In the sunshine. I like to tan and read—big multitasker over here.

Bookmark or dog ear? Bookmark!!! In the broadest of sense of the word—essentially anything flat I can mark my page with (items that may be used include: a receipt I forgot to throw out, a piece of yarn, my ID, I have put my glasses between pages to avoid mutilating them)
