1. This is pretty shallow, but I like jewelry.
2. Basically everyone in my family reads. And it was the only thing teachers ever found that could get me to sit still and not talk.

Got a new desk and office at work! Slowly building up a professional shelf. The Book of Speculation is my fun book for slow days and lunchtime. #shelfie #worklife #museumlife
