Main Floor Manager

Kelly grew up in a small antiquing village 60 miles north of New York City. She moved down here 10 years ago to study photography at FIT & The School of Visual Arts. The thought of moving back home never appealed to her, so she's been sticking it out in the city where she currently resides in the LES. Although her number one passion has always been photography, reading is a close second. Her four years at Strand has allowed her to amass an substantial amount of books that she's happily lugged from apartment to apartment. Kelly's seasonal reading habits make her collection very diverse and she's totally cool with that. Kelly has a predilection for short stories, with J.D. Salinger being her all time favorite. When she's not working or reading Kelly spends her time making art, knitting, baking, crafting and thinking about what to eat for dinner.

  • Too Much Happiness

    • Publisher: Vintage International
    • Published: November 2010
    In these ten superb new stories - now available in paperback - with clarity and ease, Alice Munro once again renders complex, difficult events and emotions into stories about the unpredictable ways in which men and women accommodate and often transcend what happens in their lives. In the first story a young wife and mother, suffering from the unbearable pain of losing her three children, gains solace from a most surprising source. In another, a young woman, in the aftermath of an unusual and humiliating seduction, reacts in a clever if less-than-admirable fashion. Other tales uncover the 'deep holes' in a marriage, the unsuspected cruelty of children, and, in the long title story, the yearning of a 19th-century female mathematician. A New York Times Notable Book. 304p.

    A Best Nonfiction Book of 2012: The Boston Globe, Entertainment WeeklyA Best Book of the Year: NPR, St. Louis Dispatch, VogueAt twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
