About me:
Finding it exhausting to be both beautiful and brilliant, Lisa Scherer Ciurro buried herself in books and movies at a young age. She attempted to reintegrate into society in the late 90s, but found that her social skills had withered from lack of use. She accepted her inner wallflower, bought a computer and devoted herself to the blogosphere.
A corporate drone by day, Lisa is a blogger by night. Normally she reviews and writes about books and movies on her blogs TampaFilmFan.com and TampaBookBuzz.com, guest blogs at the popular local blog SticksOfFire.com and writes the FANGRRL column at CrazedFanBoy.com, but she's been on sabbatical for the last few months due to health reasons.
In addition to being named one of the best local bloggers of 2005 by tbt* (*tampa bay times), Lisa has served as a judge for several area film festivals (Independents' Film Festival, 2006, 2007; Sunscreen Film Festival, 2007, 2008, 2009). In September 2006, TampaBookBuzz.com was a runner-up for Best Local Blog in Creative Loafing's Best of the Bay contest. In 2007, Lisa began writing "Reel People" movie reviews for the Tampa Tribune and served on The Artists and Writers Group's festival planning committee. In 2008 and 2009, Lisa stayed busy dealing with papillary thyroid cancer.
In between reading books, watching movies and fighting cancer, Lisa visits her social networking pages, updates her Netflix queue, eats too much junk food and watches Law and Order reruns on TNT.
