Reviewer Spotlight

Branch: Morrison Regional

This month Reader’s Club honors Kate from Cornelius Library. Kate is a voracious reader and frequent Reader’s Club reviewer. She has reviewed several young adult novels. Here are her thoughts on reading and writing book reviews:

“I have always loved to read. Some people would even call me an addict because I feel the need to read at least an hour a day. I personally think it is a result of having five librarians in my family tree. I'll read anything, especially if I'm desperate. Earlier this week I was stuck at a car repair shop for two hours longer than I had anticipated and had to read three sports magazines cover to cover to keep from going crazy.

I like to read a wide variety of books, especially non-fiction and fantasy. Some of my favorite authors include Patricia McKilllip, Sharon Shinn, Mary Stewart, Hilary McKay, and Ursula Le Guin. Recently I have read several non-fiction accounts of hiking the Appalachian Trail, because I've been thinking about trying it. The majority of the books that I've reviewed for Reader's Club are for teens because that's what my focus is.’’

Thanks Kate!
