Collected Works' Reviewers
Mandy's love of reading grew from an introverted childhood. Her mother began taking her to the library at a young age and, from there, her love affair with reading began.
Fast foward many years later and Mandy turns her love of reading into a blog. Starting with a "Top 100 Banned Books of 2000-2009," Mandy's followers grew and people began contacting her for reviews. The requests were so many that she recruited a few friends and started a new blog: Literary R&R.
With time, things change and Mandy's blog was no exception. Wanting to make it a collaborative effort, Mandy decided to stop using Literary R&R and, with her three co-reviewers, jointly created Collected Works.
Lupe is passionate about everything she does; from reading to watching movies to spending time with friends and family and ESPECIALLY about MSU football.
When not selling It Works! on the side, Lupe enjoys escaping with a great read. She's not a fan of Harlequin, or Harlequin-esque, romances. She does enjoy non-fiction as well as whatever fiction strikes her fancy.
Located in Indiana, Charlene has a huge family that she loves to be with. In between her day job, scrapbooking, and various girls' nights, Charlene is one of our fastest and more positive reviewers. Even when she has something negative to say, she surrounds it with a lot of positivity. Charlene accepts physical copies only and is not a fan of nonfiction work.
From the land of the Buckeyes (that's Ohio for all you geographically-challenged peeps), we have our snarky reviewer Kathy. Kathy's time is mostly spent between her family, work, volunteering, and social/sporting events.
In her minimal downtime, she escapes through reading. She is not a fan of sci-fi or historical fiction. She has the ability to read ebooks, but prefers physical copies when possible.
