About Liz

Instagram

Liz went to college to become an English teacher to spend all day talking about books! That transitioned to an administrative position at a high school in Milwaukee, WI. Even though she doesn’t teach books anymore, she is consistently and perhaps obnoxiously recommending books to students and really anyone that will listen.

Welcome to Sarah's Bookshelves Live.

0:08.4

I'm Sarah of the blog Sarah's Bookshelps.

0:11.2

Each week I'm talking with one bookish guest about two old books they love, two new books

0:16.1

they love, one book they don't love, and one new release they're excited about.

0:21.9

We're going to get real,

0:27.6

and sometimes a bit snarky, about all things books. If you like the show, I'd really love your support. Spread the word to your reader friends, subscribe to the show, rate and review it wherever

show notes and in my Instagram bio to my Patreon page. Let's get rolling. Hey everyone, welcome to a

0:48.4

mini episode of Sarah's Bookshelves Live. Many episodes feature book bloggers, Instagramers, or regular readers that apply to be

0:55.4

on the show and focus solely on the book recommendations. Today's guest is Liz Hein, and she is known on

1:02.3

Instagram as Liz Heine 89. Liz went to college to become an English teacher so she could spend

1:08.1

all day talking about books. She is now in an administrative

1:11.4

position at a high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and she's always recommending books to students at

1:16.9

her school. She is also a patron of the show, so she got bumped to the top of the waiting list to be a guest.

1:22.3

Welcome, Liz. Hi, thank you for having me. I'm very excited to be here. Thank you. I appreciate it during this crazy time. And y'all, just so you know, I always want to timestamp the date we record now since time seems to be moving so very quickly. At least I feel that way. So we are recording this on March 31st and it's airing in May.

1:45.0

So I imagine the situation will probably have changed drastically by the time this airs.

1:51.4

But right now, I'm in Virginia and we just got put under a shelter in place order yesterday.

1:58.3

Schools have been out for a couple weeks now, and we have already been told

2:02.2

that schools will not return this year, which was kind of a mental blow for everybody.

2:08.4

I'm waiting for that to happen to me. It hasn't happened yet, but I know it's coming.

2:12.7

You know, I kind of feel like it's coming for most people, but it was a blow to hear it so early on for me.

2:21.0

Yeah.
