Reviewer Spotlight

Reader’s Club spotlights Jesse who works in The Loft at ImaginOn. He has been a frequent contributor of reviews for both adults and teens. Here is what Jesse has to share with us:

“I really enjoy reading young adult (YA) literature. I work with teens on a daily basis, so keeping up with their newest and most popular books is a part of my job. My favorite YA authors include Chris Crutcher, John Greene, Pete Hautman, and Cornelia Funke. If I’m not reading YA fiction, I love to spend my time reading someone funny. Joseph Heller, Christopher Moore, Carl Hiaasen, Kurt Vonnegut and David Sedaris to name a few. No author has had a greater impact on me so far than Kurt Vonnegut.

I recently got on my first nonfiction kick (other than textbooks) when I started reading as much as I could about rural life. Its amazing what you can learn from others’ experiences of living off their land. Being from the city, the common country-life knowledge is foreign to me and I appreciate that I still have the opportunity to gain knowledge on this subject.”

Thanks, Jesse!
