NL: Can you share a bio with us?
GF: Hello! I’m Gabbie and I’ve lived in Nyack since 2011, graduating both from Nyack Middle School and Nyack High School. I am what they like to call a “Jack of all Trades” meaning I have a plethora of hobbies and skills like singing, dancing and performing in general. If I’m not at the library, I usually spend my time watching movies, going to concerts or exploring new places.

NL: What are you currently reading? Do you like it?
GF: I am currently re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S Lewis. I enjoy them a lot!

NL: If you could have any author speak at Nyack Library, who would it be and why?
GF: Probably Margaret Atwood. I would love to just have a peek inside her mind when it comes to writing the books she writes. Also, my mom is a huge fan of The Handmaid’s Tale, haha!

NL: Which character in a book do you most identify with?
GF: I would say Tris Prior from the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. Mainly during the first two books. Tris was someone who had to come into her own, finding her own strength and adjust to the environment around her even when she faced unfortunate circumstances that seem almost helpless.

NL: What books are on your night stand?
GF: Not necessarily on my nightstand, but I read a lot of Webtoons on my phone, haha! Mainly Slice of Life or Thrillers.

NL: Are there any books that you feel are overrated?
GF: In my opinion, there’s no such thing as overrated. A good book is a good book.

NL: Do you have a literary “guilty pleasure”?
GF: Unconventional Love Stories like the Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston~

NL: Would you ever organize your books by color? Yea or Nay?
GF: Never. Always by series and in chronological order.

NL: What do you plan to read next?
GF: Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
NL: What’s the first book that you remember reading?
GF: Go, Dogs, Go By Dr. Seuss haha! I have vivid memories of reading it with my older brother.

NL: What’s your least favorite book?
​​​​GF: Probably Acceleration by Graham McNamee. I had to read it in Middle School and although it wasn’t a bad book, I do remember reading it and thinking to myself “What did I just read…?”
