Alanna B.

Teen Board Member

Forestville, California

Hello! My name is Alanna. I'll be 14 in two weeks, I'm going into the eighth grade and I live in Northern California. I spend way too much time reading but when I'm not I enjoy playing basket ball and eating frozen peas. I love all reptiles, especially snakes. I have one and am planning on getting more. I also like horseback riding (even though I'm painfully mediocre at it) and kayaking, which is awesome because I live across the road from the Russian River.

Jessica K.

Teen Board Member

Naperville, Illinois

Hi everyone, my name is Jessica and, as you might’ve guessed, I love to read! I’m a junior in high school, and I play soccer. Beyond my unhealthy obsession with books, I love bingeing shows on Netflix, watching movies, especially any Marvel film, and spending time with my friends. Fun fact about me is anytime I hear something nerding out about one of my favorite books or shows I’ll immediately join in, and make an instant friend. Finally, I love chocolate and candy, which is an easy way to win me over.

Emma B.

Teen Board Member

New Haven, Connecticut

I'm Emma and I'll be a freshman in high school this year. In my free time I enjoy reading, watching anime, playing video games, singing with my choir or filming videos. You'll rarely catch me outside unless I'm playing Pokemon Go. I'm almost always on my phone or computer and I enjoy watching sports but please don't ask me to play them. I'm excited to be apart of the Teen Board this year!

Cakes are special. Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet, a cake, and people remember. It's all about the memories.

Reviewer

Hello! My name is Taylor and I am an 18-year-old freshman at UNC Asheville with a huge passion for all things book-related. When I’m not reading, obsessing over fictional guys or posting on my blog, taylortalksbooks, I am most likely jamming out to my favorite tunes from the '70s and watching some classic films (my favorites include Roman Holiday, Casablanca and The Philadelphia Story). I am so thrilled to fangirl over some amazing books and share all of my feels with everyone in the Teenreads community!

Hi, my name is Kaela! Once upon a time I was a quirky little girl who discovered the world of books and never turned back. Similar to most of the Teen Board members, reading books could be considered my favorite activity. You can often find me sitting in the middle of class head down in a book and not paying attention to that day's lesson (please, don't attempt this at home). When I am not reading I am a huge thespian, and a year from now I hope to be at a college of my choosing studying pre-med.
