I'm fairly certain there couldn't be a more auspicious day to start a book blog than Book Lover's Day, right?
Hi! I'm Jen and yes, I do hug books because I love them. It's a thing. I've started blogs in the past and failed to keep up with them because I didn't really have a purpose in mind. I just wanted to write words about books, maybe? This blog is different.
I want to make this space about the best parts of what I do offline, which is match people with books that they'll want to hug when they're finished reading them. I'm currently a public librarian for children and teens, but I've worked in publishing and as a bookseller, I'm a Bookstagrammer and I've had a Booktube channel, and I'm contemplating becoming a freelance editor as a side hustle, so I feel like I can bring you information about books from a lot of different perspectives.
You can plan on seeing posts about interesting combinations of books, thoughts about what I'm currently reading and what I'm looking forward to, interviews with bookish people, thoughts on my life with books, and lots of other things, I'm sure. And if you're looking to find your personal next great read, fill out my Reading Rx form and I'll make you your very own list! (Please do it, I'm so excited! It's my favorite thing.)
Speaking of favorite things, I've made the blog's first list! All the five-star books I've read in 2019. And then I realized it was way too long and made it a permanent link at the top of the page so you don't have to scroll on this post forever. See? That means I really like you :)
Here we go!
