MARCH/APRIL 2005
- ERAINA TINNIN
Name: Eraina Tinnin
Location: Greensboro, NC
Short Bio: I am a married,
mother of 2, who has a passion for reading.
Tell a bit about yourself, how long you've been in TRR, and
what behind-the-scenes (if anything) things you do: I originally
became a reviewer in March of 2002, but life got hectic as it sometimes
does and I had to take two LOA's......I came back in June of 2004 and
have been raring to go ever since. Currently all I do behind the scenes
are making sure that the database entries are updated monthly.
As a reviewer and unpaid
volunteer, what is your motivation for reviewing? My passion
and love of reading.
Share your best moment as a
reviewer: When an author commented that I was the only one who got
what she was trying to say in her book. The book had a much deeper
meaning and I captured that in my review. Actually all positive feedback
from authors and those who have read my reviews are great moments.
What do you look for in books? Something to grab my attention. Not a
story that has the same storyline that we have read over and over again.
I also like well developed characters and a book that doesn't leave you
hanging. I also like unexpected twists.
What is the best book you've ever
reviewed: I can only name one??? I honestly don't think I can
narrow it down to one. But if I HAVE to, I will say Schemin' by Andrea
Blackstone.
Share your Top 5 list of books reviewed
in 2004:
Upstate by Kalisha Buckhanon, Schemin'
by Andrea Blackstone, From A Hard Rock To A Gem by Pamela M. Johnson, In
Her Presence by Nancy Weaver and Hood Rich by Crystal Perkins-Stell.
Now, pick just ONE as your favorite: Schemin by Andrea
Blackstone.....it was very well written with loveable characters and an
unsuspecting twist.
When
you're not reading/reviewing, what do you do? What don't I do is the
question....lol. I work at home full-time. I tutor at my children's'
school and I teach youth bible study and youth Sunday School at my
church. I am also president of the local R.A.W chapter.
