odi is a former forensic toxicologist and current book seller/substitute teacher.

Hi! I’m Jodi Golis, former forensic toxicologist and current book seller/substitute teacher. Some of my favorite authors are Liane Moriarty, Lisa Jewell, Diane Chamberlain, and Taylor Jenkins Reid. I also love to read books by local authors like Rebecca Drake and Marie Benedict. With elementary and middle school age boys at home, I’m always always looking for books that engage children. Some recent favorites of ours are Wishtree (and everything Katherine Applegate) and Al Capone Does My Shirts. I like to mix some social justice and history into our fiction to spur important conversations. I look forward to talking to you when you visit us at Riverstone!
