ARLENE       see my book picks

Born and raised in Wyckoff, New Jersey, I still consider myself a "Jersey Girl", even though I have not lived in the state for 25 years! I moved to Woodstock, IL in 1997 with my husband Keith and our three children and we are thrilled to call Woodstock home. I love to read and one of my favorite pastimes has been visiting bookstores. I feel truly blessed to have brought Read Between the Lynes to the Woodstock Square to share my love of literature with the community.

      KEITH

Born in Phoenix, Arizona and raised in Southern Michigan. I enjoy the four seasons and snow at Christmas time. I enjoy fishing and reading in a hammock on summer days. Management Consultant by trade, I look forward to the many nuances of a community bookstore.

KAITLYN       see my book picks

Born in Baltimore, Maryland I moved to Woodstock when I was only seven years old. Now a senior in high school, I enjoy playing soccer year round and hanging out with friends. Next year I will be attending college and majoring in International Relations.  My favorite books include The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Kite Runner.

 

CHELSEA

Currently I am attending Hope College in Holland, MI, and as a junior beginning to consider possibilities after my graduation next may. I am a Biology major with a minor in Environmental Studies, interested in pursing a career in field work. I do make the best of my breaks though by coming home to Woodstock and working at the bookstore. I am a huge fan of fictional personal adventures and particularly stories set in India, stories that involve elephants, or are historically based

A Native of the streets of Woodstock, I live, breathe, eat, and sleep the Woodstock Square.  I’ve been hard at work on a few different writing projects, a manuscript that I hope to have published by the end of the year, a sitcom, and a feature length comedy film that I plan on filming this summer.  When I’m not working or writing, I’m a movie geek and a karaoke junkie.  I’ll read just about anything but I love pulp novels and noir fiction.

Recently retired from teaching seventh graders and unable to sit still, Leslie has found the perfect part-time endeavor...part of the team at Read Between the Lynes.  She enjoys daily contact with customers and the opportunity to read any of the numerous titles carried in the bookstore!  Leslie has just completed James Frey's, "A Million Little Pieces" and is currently reading the "Mercy of Thin Air" by Dominque Ronlyn.  Leslie lives in Woodstock with her husband, Larry and dog, Max.

An avid reader and writer, working at Read Between the Lynes was the perfect opportunity for me. One of my favorite books is “The Perks of Being A Wallflower” and I enjoy the stylings of Sylvia Plath, Edward Gorey, and Stephen King. I will be heading off to college next year, where I will major in journalism. My favorite parts about working at the bookstore are getting to hear all about new books, meeting interesting people, and the wonderful staff.
