LuAnn Harris --

• When did you start working at BBS? 
  
  •  I started working at the Boulder Book Store on 5/2/05

  • I am originally from Florida and my ex-husband's job brought us to the area.
• What are some of your favorite genres/specific titles?
  
  • My favorite genre is mystery.

• What is your favorite thing about working at BBS?
• My favorite thing about working here is all the employees. I truly do love my "kids" and I love how kind and wonderful they are to each other.
• What is one unique/interesting fact about you that one wouldn't necessarily learn in ordinary conversation?
• The only unique/interesting thing I can think of about myself is that the best thing I ever did in my whole life is to adopt my son, Scott. He is 19-years-old now and has worked summers here for about three years now and many of the staff know him.

Tracy -- 

• When did you start working at BBS?
•  I started in Summer of 2009 right around the time I turned 30-years-old.
• What is your role on the floor?

• I've done almost every job available at BBS. I started as a bookseller, moved to shipping and receiving, then spent a year as the Head Buyer's assistant. Now I am Business manager/Bookstore Mom LuAnn's assistant in the business office. My days are spent counting the previous day's cash and paying our vendors. I'm an accounting nerd so it's my favorite job by far.
• Where are you from originally and what brought you to Boulder?
• I grew up in Southern California where I learned to loath the sun. In 2003, I escaped to Portland where I met my partner Bryce, a mathematician, who decided to go to graduate school at CU.
• What are some of your favorite genres/specific titles?
• My all-time favorite books are the Sandman graphic novels by Neil Gaiman. I judge book by their covers on a regular basis, it is often how I choose my next read. A quirky western called The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt is one of my favorite books/covers from the last year.
  
• What is your favorite thing about working at BBS?
• My fellow employees for sure. We're a goofy bunch of dorks.
• What is one unique/interesting fact about you that one wouldn't necessarily learn in ordinary conversation?
•  I want to live in the middle of nowhere and rarely come into contact with human civilization.
