How did you get started with Words Alive?
I found Words Alive through my school’s Key Club organization, and the program really interested me because I have always loved to read books in my free time. It was a great way for me to discover books and explore new genres as well, outside of Science Fiction books (which I frequently indulge in). I also loved the idea of how in each of the books a more relevant real-life message was embedded into the stories.
What has been the best book you've read with Page Turners?
I really loved the book, Wishtree by Katherine Applegate. It was one of the books more geared towards the younger crowd than most of the other books I had read, but I particularly loved its message of love and understanding, as well as the wholesome storyline. It was also touched on the huge topic of discrimination, which I thought was really cool.
How has being a Page Turner changed the way you read or think about reading?
Being a Page Turner has taught me more about representation in novels and literature, since many of the books I read try to represent minority cultures, and the authors themselves are from those cultures. It was really a great opportunity to learn more about diverse communities and beliefs.
What city are you based in?
San Diego, California
