I do research for two authors and have been an avid reader for over 60 years. I was an editorial assistant to the Editor-in-Chief of a medical journal, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, for 8 years. I majored in English. Although home is California, I've traveled to and lived in Florida, Ft. Worth, Texas, New York, and Scotland. I enjoy reading all types of books, especially new authors. I have tutored teenagers in writing poetry and sci-fi/mythology stories and novels. I also write fiction and non-fiction.
RJ McGill
High school graduate with strong emphasis in Business, Community Relations and Public Speaking. Working for a local Bank I was quickly promoted to supervision and ultimately to the branch management position. Throughout this time I continued my education through a variety of night classes offered by the bank. After-which I studied independently through adult education, taking classes in real estate management, real estate transactions and law, ultimately acquiring my Real Estate license. I received multiple designations and was repeatedly recognized for exemplary performance.
I volunteer at the nursing home and encourage others to "adopt a grandparent." I am a member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary and work with our local organization to provide support and comfort for US Veterans. I also speak publicly on domestic violence, alcoholism, peer pressures and suicide.
Books have always been an integral part of my life and I want to share my love of reading with others. Forced to retire at such a young age, due to health concerns, the days would be far too long without books to melt the hours away. I live in Tennessee with my husband, daughter and our pets.

Laura Adams
I am a 40 year old, white, female who is married with 2 teenage
daughters. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business and work in the
Food Stamp/Medicaid local office. I live in rural Eastern Kentucky
and enjoy photography, scapbooking, ATV riding, movies and most
importantly READING. I am active in my church and a member of the
County Relay For Life Team. I am at one of my 2 local libraries at
least once a week checking out new books and returning finished
books. I sleep little because there is always something I want to
do or a new book I want to read. Most of my family and friends will
refer to me when seeking out a good movie or book as I have usually
either read it or watched it myself and will give them my opinion
of it or I have at least read other's opinions/reviews of it.

Kristen Leong
I'm thriteen going on fourteen with a bit of spare time on my hands. I love to read and am an honors student attending Garnet Valley Middle School. I recently signed up for HarperTeen on my friend's recommendation. There, they have a FirstLook program that lets you review books in advance. They also let members review books that have already come out. I seldom express my opinion because there aren't many people who are willing to listen to me. Reviewing books allows me to express my opinions concerning the things that help to keep me sane-books!
Pearl Mackey
I have been reading books all my life. I typically read between 2 to 5 books a month. I am in the direct selling industry so I do have a fair bit of free time. I look forward to being a reviewer.
Andrea Etzel
I am a twenty-nine year old female. I have been an avid book reader my whole life. I'll pretty much read anything with pages, however I prefer the subjects listed above. My favorite book as an adult is A Boys life, unfortunatly I can't remember the authors name and I loaned it out and never got it back. I'm an avid horse person, enjoy the outdoors period, and love to kick back with a book nearly anytime day or night. I have read five or six hundred page books in one day if captivated. I'll stay up far to late to finish a book, but never regret it unless the ending leaves me unsatisfied.
