| Marianne A. |
Marianne is the mother of two
school-aged children, so there is never enough time to read, but more
than there used to be! She enjoys fiction, science-fiction/fantasy,
children's literature and is branching out into memoirs and non-fiction.
After 8 years of teaching high school and 10 years of raising her children
she is very happy to play hooky and work at the bookshop. Has it already
been 3 years?! |
| Maria B. |
Maria loves loves loves to read! She'd
rather read than cook or clean...ask her husband...she has been known to
give her three daughters cereal for dinner so she could finish a good book.
And hey, they grew up fine! When not reading she is walking the dog or
working at the bookshop or sleeping.

I am the mother of three adult daughters, one of whom
just had a baby boy. Reading has been a life-long hobby and discussing
books is an integral part of that hobby - first with my dad, then friends,
then (and now) daughters and husband, friends in the bookstore and soon, my
grandson. Maria and I take turns facilitating the monthly bookshop
book club, too. Usually, if you can tell me several books that you
have read and enjoyed, I can recommend other books that you may like.
I particularly like unusual fictional books - ones in which I can't predict
the ending and/or well-written books. I read suspense and mystery,
general fiction, memoirs, sometimes biography and history and quite a bit of
teen fiction, which is often well-written and unpredictable. This is
my dream job and I feel privileged to work here. |
| Eileen Y. |
I am the mother of six children and
grandmother of eleven. I have always loved to read and after retiring
from Council Rock I needed to get out of the house and see people. What
better way to do that than in a book shop that is all about people? I
have found that my love of reading enables me to talk about and suggest
books that someone may not have thought of.

| Kathy M. |
Kathy loves working in the bookshop, meeting all our
customers and staying in touch with the new book releases. As a mother
of two children, one in college and the other in high school, she has
finally gotten the time to be able to read without much interruption.
When not working, Kathy enjoys aerobics and running, cooking and eating,
photography and being with her husband and family. She enjoys all
types of fiction, suspense, and memoirs. |
| Alex R. |
Hi! I am a sophomore at Arcadia University. I am
majoring in Psychology with a minor in Biology in the hopes of becoming an
Occupational Therapist. I am very interested in movies, cartooning,
music (especially R&B/Soul), and I love animals. I have been working
at the Newtown Bookshop since the fall of 2010, and I enjoy it very much!
My favorite author is Harlan Coben, and I am a big fan of mystery novels, as
well as biographies and autobiographies. |
| Martin R. |
Martin graduated from George School in 2010 and is
currently attending BCCC. He spends much of his newly-found free time
finding new books to read. Working at a bookshop has always been a
goal of his, so working where he bought novels for most of his young life
was an even greater accomplishment. He reads through fantasy and
science-fiction like it's his second job. |
| Helene F. |
As a life-long reader, I have always envisioned myself
surrounded by books. When I was laid off, I felt now might be the time
to work at something close to my heart: books. Growing up I read any
classic book or play I could get my hands on, as well as historical and
political fiction, suspense and new releases. More recently I tend to
read fiction with strong character and relationship development OR memoirs
depicting an individual's ability to overcome his background. I have a
particular fondness for children's books due to my two granddaughters, ages
7 1/2 years and 9 months. They both love reading and books. Also
close to my heart are my 2 female Westies, who are a source of delight and
keep me on my toes. |
| Kelly W. |
Kelly is a young woman with many interests. From a
very early age she loved to read, and as she matured, she also discovered a
love of writing. A year ago, she was heading off to college as a dual
major in music performance and creative writing. She has since
realized her love of playing guitar and writing her own music. She
will begin classes at Rider University as a transfer student in the fall of
2011, working on her music on the side with the hopes of an opportunity to
record as a singer/songwriter in the near future. Kelly has shopped at
Newtown Bookshop since the first time she opened a book, and she quickly
found that working here is equally enjoyable. She likes all genres,
would try anything once, and sees something valuable in every book she
reads. |
| Christine G. |
Christine reads everything, from romance to
business. She enjoys modern fiction, and is an expert on children's
literature thanks to her three children. |
