Jeannette Rivera
Co-Host of Eclectic Readers
Super teacher by day, super reader by night, wife and mom always. Along with Susan, I was one of the original three Eclectic Readers and to this day, I think it's one of the best things we've ever done! My fave things to read these days? Sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries, historical fiction, YA fiction, and Shakespeare, of course Shakespeare! Along with reading, I enjoy sci-fi shows, Disney movies, word play, and going to the theatre. I will talk/analyze any and all of these anytime, anywhere, so come find me on Twitter (@drjeannette), Litsy, or Goodreads (@jmtrivera). See you there!
