Connie Reid has been the owner and site manager of Yabookscentral.com since 2021. She is a former elementary school teacher and reading interventionist and has her master's in Library Science. She consistently reads over 350 books a year and works to spread that joy to her children, nieces, and nephews. Beyond being an avid reader, Connie donates hundreds of books each year to local schools and other charitable organizations. Yabookscentral (YABC) was first created in 1998, and it has continued to expand its solid reputation for connecting readers with their next book ever since. YABC works with authors, publicists, and publishers to review books and feature them on YABC’s website. YABC runs an active blog with hourly content Mon-Fri 10 AM- 4 PM ET (plus Saturdays) that features author interviews, excerpts, guest posts, giveaways, and reviews for Kids, Middle-Grade, and YA books. Our volunteer staff comprises teachers, librarians, homeschool families, parents, indie authors, and reading enthusiasts who provide insightful reviews for our audience. Last year, we collectively reviewed around 2,000 books! YABC works to provide a moderated site free of spamming and trolling, safe for children, teens, and adults to learn about great books and even win a free book in our giveaways!
