MEET THE STAFF

Reference Librarian at Brookline Village Kerry O'Donnell

Me in Halloween Costume 2017
First literary crush (author or character): Lucivar Yaslana from The Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop.
Last song you listened to: Technically, “Shadows of the Night” by Pat Benatar is my most recently played song, but I’ve had Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time” stuck in my head since I put together a display for the library.
Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw.
Name a word that starts with the letter Q: Quirky.
Movie or TV show you always watch when it comes on screen, no matter what: Gladiator, and The Princess Diaries.
If you could travel back in time, what period would you go to? Ancient Greece/Rome, The American Revolution, and/or the rise of the Celts in Ireland.
Cake or pie? Cake, definitely cake..
Big dogs or small dogs? Big dogs.
Hardcover or paperback? Paperbacks.
Fictional world or game you'd most like to visit? The Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop.
What book would you most like to see turned into a top-notch film or miniseries? There are two, but one is already happening. The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas is currently being made into a TV show on Hulu. (Yay! I can't wait to see it!) I'd also love to see a faithful adaptation of the Fables graphic novels by Bill Willingham.
Favorite fictional librarian? Tie between Rupert Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Evie from The Mummy. Can you imagine that team-up? No monster would stand a chance!
Favorite fictional detective? Veronica Mars.
