Jessica Lin is an Engagement Specialist at NoveList and previously worked as a Technical Support Representative. Before working at NoveList, Jessica was a high school English teacher for five years, building up her classroom library and giving daily book talks to her students. She currently facilitates a book club that focuses on reading authors of color. In her spare time, she likes to write and walk, and she keeps a kite in her car in case of windy days!  

Moderator Halle Eisenman leads the Editorial Content Team which oversees the creation of the lists, articles, book discussion guides, and all the other amazing and informative content you can find in NoveList. Prior to working at NoveList, she spent a dozen years working for a public library system in a variety of roles, but no matter what her job title, her favorite part of any day was suggesting books to patrons. When not at work, Halle can often be found walking her dogs (they get lots of exercise when she’s listening to a particularly riveting audiobook), binge-watching TV shows aimed at teenagers, baking, or sitting on her back porch with a book. She is currently serving on the RUSA CODES Reading List Council.
