Christine Northup
How did you get started with Words Alive?
I started volunteering with Words Alive about a month or two into the pandemic. It was difficult during the initial shut down and I wanted to help as a virtual volunteer. I found the Page Turners opportunity through a Google search, and since I love to read, it was a perfect fit!
What has been the best book you've read with Page Turners?
I've enjoyed reading many of the Page Turner books, but my favorites so far are Patron Saints of Nothing and Sabrina & Corina.
Why did you start reading books with Page Turners and why do you continue?
As mentioned, volunteering as a Page Turner seemed like a perfect fit because of my love of reading. I was really drawn to Words Alive's mission of instilling a love of reading and inspiring students to become lifelong learners. Also, I love the flexibility! If I sign up for a book and life gets too busy, there's no pressure if I have to put my reading or review on hold for a bit. At the same time, each Page Turners sign-up keeps me accountable and committed to completing the book and my review.
How has being a Page Turner changed the way you read or think about reading?
Being a Page Turner has really changed the way I view YA Fiction, which is much more complex than I remember! I always seem to be learning something new.
What city are you based in?
I'm based in San Diego.
