Estella's Revenge: About

Note: My name is not actually Estella. That would be Estella from Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. My name is Andi. Not nearly as exciting, I realize, but it is my name.

Welcome! The Estella's Revenge Blog is one of several pages in the Estella's Revenge family. The blog is the starting point--established in 2005. Since then, I've toyed with the Estella's Revenge E-Zine from time to time but that project is currently on hold. I am working to host this blog at http://www.estellasrevenge.com in the near future (if it doesn't kill me first).

I am an English professor and program head of an educational department by day and an avid reader by morning, afternoon and night. I teach both online and traditional classes in writing and literature. Basically, I get paid to be a book nerd. How luscious is that?!

I read *almost* anything. I favor fiction (literary, contemporary, classic), non-fiction (foodie, travel, memoir, and offbeat), graphic novels, and children's/young adult. I received a Barnes and Noble Nook named Homer for Christmas in 2009, and I love it. I'm a total nerd for e-books now.

I became a mother in April of 2010 and since then my hobbies and interests outside of reading have bloomed. You'll find me blogging from time to time about such topics as issues of food (sustainability, factory farming, suburban gardening), cooking and recipes, DIY/crafts, fashion, current events, and social networking.

Thanks for stopping by! If you'd like to see more of me on the web:
