Emma Gilmore
Executive Assistant &
Social Media Manager
Emma’s journey as a reader began in first grade with a read aloud of Harry Potter before bed each night. From then on, it was a constant stream of trips to Books A Million on the hunt for books like the Gallagher Girl series, The Clique, Twilight and The Hunger Games.
In 2020, she bought a Kindle and a KU subscription to aid in escaping the real world for more magical fictional places, discovered booktok and bookstagram, and now has an endless to-be-read pile.
When she’s not binge reading, you can find Emma catching up on the latest Bravo shows with her cat, Bean, listening to the latest Harry Styles or Taylor Swift album, or creating content for her bookstagram and booktok, @books_emmallion.
