Lindsey Williams is a former teen services library worker who loves talking about books almost as much as she loves reading them. In addition to Book Riot, her work has appeared on The Nerd Daily and in the towering stack of half-filled notebooks in her closet. She lives in Arizona with her husband and their pit bull, Peaches. Find her on Instagram @lindsgillett.
