Emily Coleman Johnson
Emily Johnson grew up haunting the aisles of the library her mom worked at until she could drive to her local Barnes & Noble to haunt those aisles. She graduated from Briar Cliff University with a degree in English and moved to New York with big dreams of publishing. Instead she found herself working at the Union Square Barnes & Noble café and loving every second of it. Since 2012, she’s made her way from seasonal barista to Associate Buyer for the B&N Restaurants and currently to Digital Merchandiser for Audiobooks. You’ll need to repeat your question because she always has an audiobook playing in one ear while reorganizing her home library, until it’s time to read Manga before bed. #booksarelife
