About Jen
Jen is a twenty-something who lives and breathes words. Sometimes she eats them too, but only when she's feeling peckish.
This blog is focused primarily on Young Adult literature, but writing thoughts sneak in now and again. Random thoughts used to sneak in quite often, but now, not so much. For more varied content, you can visit Jen's personal blog, Speaking Jenerally.
Or, you can try her on YouTube where she has a sporadically updated personal channel and where she also does a little BookTubing.If you’re lost, you can look & you will find me
