This post is intended to serve as a welcome or intro to me for those authors, publicists, bloggers, etc whom I met while at a BEA (Book Expo America) last week. This is a sticky post. Just scroll down to see new posts!
Just a little info about me: I’ve been blogging for three years now, reviewing books for approximately 13 years. My favorite genres include thriller, mystery, crime fiction, horror & contemporary fiction.
I’m a full-time working mom of two boys: John (11) and Justin (5). John is a “formerly” reluctant reader. Every once in a while John does a review of a book he’s particularly enjoyed as part of his Tales of a “Formerly” Reluctant Reader feature.
Following are a few of my posts/reviews so you can get a sampling of my reading tastes:
Reviews:
Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin
A Drop of the Hard Stuff by Lawrence Block
Faith by Jennifer Haigh
Random Posts:
Comparing Apples to Oranges: Not all Books are Equal
Following are links to a few of the “features” popular here at Jenn’s Bookshelves:
- Frightful Friday-Each Friday I feature a book that I found particularly chilling or frightening (in a good way!)
- Tales of A Formerly Reluctant Reader-This is the feature I’m most proud of! My son, a formerly reluctant reader, reads and reviews middle-grade books. He specifically explains why the book engages him, as formerly reluctant reader.
- Literary Road Trip– a project in which bloggers volunteer to showcase local authors. This showcase can be anything the blogger wants to make of it – book reviews, author interviews, giveaways – as long as they are working with an author local to them.
- October/Halloween Horror Month: Started last year, I spend the entire month of October spotlighting some of my favorite horror/thriller books. It’s a month-long appreciation of things that go bump in the night, including guest posts, giveaways & more. Stay tuned for more details about this year’s celebration!
Well, I think that about sums it up! If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me, please do not hesitate to email me at jennsbookshelfATgmailDOTcom!
