About the Blog
Have you ever wanted a couple of best friends who could give you book recommendations? Did you ever finish a book and want someone to talk to about it so badly but couldn’t find anyone?
The Book Marks the Spot is the solution to all of your bookish problems. We are two twenty-something’s that read a large amount of books and have opinions! We’re also really into reading books by diverse authors and about diverse people. You literally couldn’t ask for better book buddies!
About Us
Hi! My name is Helen and I’m a technology librarian at a Bay Area library system with a Masters in Library and Information Science from San Jose State University. Although I buy for a variety of categories at my library, my favorite to purchase are graphic novels and contemporary fiction. I have a deep and lifelong love of manga. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games, baking and playing with my cat, Cricket.
Hi there! My name is Lamia, and I’m a South Asian woman who lives in the Greater Sacramento Area. I work in fundraising and love data. I’ve loved to read since I was a kid! At UC Davis, I majored in Women and Gender Studies and I currently am a part of quite a few committees dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion. When I’m not reading, I can be found spending time with my husband, dog, or two cats.
