Hi! My name is Amanda and I am a Librarian. I am also an avid cyclist, and I enjoy knitting socks. Reader Vacation is the place where I tell you about the books I read, and the fun stuff we can do at the library. I also have a few helpful hints and tips that will help you maximize your public library experience.

I do accept books from publishers for review. I will occacionally participate in a blog book tour or author Q & A. For more information about about how to submit books or other materials for review please check out my  Review Policy  I will not host book or product giveaways.   You can also find me on Goodreads (@readervacation), Twitter (@WeeklyZen), and YouTube (Inside the Library with Miss Amanda).  I will accept physical ARCs or eBooks or downloadable audiobooks. I am NetGalley and Edelweiss.

I have a few favorite authors of whose books I will always accept a review copy for:

• J.K. Rowling or Robert Galbraith
• Anything inspired or about Agatha Christie (especially Hercule Poirot)
• Sara Varon
• Matthew Pearl
• Dan Brown
• Ian Cadwell
• Dan Simmons
• Trenton Lee Stewart

If I accept your book for review, the review will appear on this blog and on Goodreads. It may also make it into my Staff Favorites display at my library.
