An Introduction to a Bibliophile

Hi everyone,

For my third post, I will now introduce myself to all of you!

My name is Tyler, and I am a senior currently slated to graduate this semester with a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering. And, since I know that major probably sounds boring to some, I'll try to make it sound a bit more interesting. Basically, us BMEs get to be involved in a wide variety of areas in the medical field: prosthetics, heart devices, insulin pumps, pharmaceuticals, and probably many more I can't remember. I personally am involved in the device industry, and will be working with a device company after I graduate.

When I am not in school, I am, as I have mentioned in previous posts, a big reader. My favorite genre is YA fantasy, though I am not opposed to reading other genres as well. This is actually why I have joined this class -- one of my favorite series is one that uses the tale of Durga as an inspirational plot point, and I am a big fan of it. (If anyone wants to look it up, its the Tiger's Curse Saga by Colleen Houck.) My favorite authors of all time are Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer L. Armentrout, though I am also a big fan of Leigh Bardugo and cannot wait for the Shadow and Bone series to premiere on Netflix this spring! If anyone who reads this knows any of these authors or other YA books and wants to talk about them, please don't hesitate because talking about books is probably my favorite thing besides reading them. I also love sharing book recs, so if you have any I'd love to hear them!

In addition to reading, I am a big Marvel and Star Wars fan. Captain Marvel is my favorite Marvel hero, and I even have a signed copy of a Captain Marvel comic that came out a couple of years ago! One of my favorite activities is to go to the movie theater with my Dad and watch the newest Star Wars or Marvel movie. When The Force Awakens came out, I can still remember how the audience was so excited to see Han, Leia, and Chewie again that the whole theater broke out into applause when they first appeared on screen. Personally, my favorite Star Wars character is Ahsoka Tano, so I am very much looking forward to her live action show that will be on Disney Plus in the near future.

Any time not spent reading or watching nerd shows/movies is likely spent with my friends and family. I have a great group of friends that I love to hang out and watch football games or play board games with, and I am very close to my family that live nearby.

As I mentioned above in regards to books, I love to talk about the things I love. If anyone ever wants to talk about books, the MCU (or comics), or anything similar, please reach out! And, thanks for reading about myself!
