You go girl! Don't let anyone put you down! ❤ I like how you don't knock the author, but just state how you feel about the book. I try to do the same in my Goodreads reviews. ❤😊❤
I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and the way you talk about books. Don't ever change a thing your doing. Also I just need to say you have helped me fall back in love with reading. Thank you for being you ❤
Personally, I love the way you talk about books. There are some books that I have disagreed with the opinion, but that's what it is...an opinion. Keep doing you and keep making yourself stand out. 💗
Thank you so much! See, we can all be different. I differ in a TON of ways from even my best friends... so there was no need for someone to be angry about it. But that's a stretch from some internet strangers. who knew?
I actually love how you explain and recommend a book. If I feel like I want to save myself the story I skip ahead a bit sometimes so I can discover the story myself. Regardless, I like how you do it.
I love and appreciate your book reviews! I’ve discovered so many great books and authors through your channel. Yours is one of the first I found when I discovered booktube and got back into reading! Currently reading the Brutal Birthright series because of you and loving it!
Congrats on the role with Claire! Yay! Also, I don’t even usually like romance but because of how you talk about romance, I have tried some! So there you go, bully!
Thank you so much for saying that. Truly, I'm tearing up reading through all this support today. I am honored that you trust my recs and give some books a try that you might not. That truly makes my day!
Ive been watching your vids since 2020, and i love the way you talk about books! Thats why we're all here, right? Whoever said that was very rude, and they cwn just scroll to something else. Great vid as always xx
Jen, I listen to other book tubers, but you are the only one I support and the only one I click on as soon as your recs come up. You are like bamboo growing, it takes a long while for the bamboo forest to grow its roots and then all of sudden they sprout up everywhere and their is tremendous growth. Ive read books I would never have tried without you giving your spiel .Just an idea but could you set up a list of your book recs and links to amazon so we can buy from there. Sometimes I will write down your rec or tell someone and cant find the link in your videos. Ive bought so many books for myself my daughter and friends and it would be great to know you are getting the credit for them x
Awww! Thank you so much for your kind words. I do actually link to the books I'm recommending in the description! :) Only on vlogs and book hauls do I not have links. :) And, all you have to do is click one link for one of the books and I then get credit for your whole order! So it is very helpful. Thank you SO much for asking about that! It does help me, absolutely. I make a little bit of book money every month. haha!
Hi Jen this is a first time for me commenting on your channel because for this issues i have feel a need to speak out. Truly Jen i have never been so glad in my life to have stumbled upon your channel, it has been the best discovery ever 🥺 Most of the book i have fall in love are from your recommendations and without you i would not even have known about them. Your honest & passionate review have make me convinced to read tons of book. I never mind any spoiler because that help me to decide picking up a book since most of the time would forget the spoilers anyway during the time i pick it up 😂 I hate there are haters that make you feel that way. I wish you would not let it effect your way of reviewing book in the future 🥺 we all love the way you recommend book Jen, just be you Jen as that is the reason i love you ♥️
Hey Jen! I really appreciate how you talk about books because you’re absolutely right: I can’t read the amount of books that you do and I really want to know if a particular book is worth my time. It does help that I have the memory of a goldfish and usually totally forget the details you gave by the time I actually read it. 😂 If someone doesn’t like your content, it’s super easy to hit pause and move on. Keep doing you! You’re fantastic. ❤ P.S. Super stoked to see my very first annotated book ever - and by you no less! - is on its way to me!!! 🎉
Yess!! I think yours mailed out this weekend! I hope you love it. Thank you for supporting me. :) Yeah.. I also like some spoilers. Haha! And I forget things all the time. But yeah, I'm not forcing it on anyone. Just pass by,
For what it’s worth, I like that you tell more than just tropes, your rating. I like that you include more details and are always transparent about the content and I think it’s why I gravitate to your reviews. I feel like they are things that readers would WANT to know and I like that it’s more specific. At this point your viewers know your style so if you don’t want to know anything go into a book blind without looking at reviews 🤷🏼♀️ anyways, as always thank you for the well thought out and genuine reviews! ❤
I started a couple of years ago following a few BookTubers as due to Covid I wasn't working and able to read more books and was interested in getting recs. Out of all those BookTubers you're the only one I still follow regularly because you give me enough info to be able to decide if I want to spend my time on a specific book as I don't have the free time I did back when I wasn't working. If there are some books that I've really been looking forward to and prefer to go in blind I just skip over your review of that book or your spoilers. So it's up to me, it's not on you, to decide how much I want to know. All that said, keep doing you ❤
I started reading 4 years ago and the first book was from your recommendation videos, i just love the way you talk about books!❤ and i enjoy the long videos cause i know you'll be talking about books you Loved in details, which I'll always be excited for! Love you jenn!❤
Some people just need to get a life! I love how passionate you are about books, and I love that you inform us if something might be upsetting in the books. I'm one of those people that want to know if there is a HEA or not. And I love when you do specific troupes videos ❤ Keep being you, love ya girl ❤️
Here’s my comment ❤️I love hearing you talk about books.❤️I love your channel. Since the Book Refuge and other wonderful booktubers I can’t remember the last time I had a dnf or felt like I wasted my time or money on a book.❤️Seriously I’m totally spoiled and super lucky. Thank you Jen.❤️Love and take care
About that horrible comment someone left. I completely agree with you! I subscribe to you SO that I can get a little bit more info about books. I don't have the time (or mental capacity) to read a book a day, maybe 2-3 a month. So, in my case, I have to make doubly sure that the book I'm investing my money and time into is going to be a book I'm going to enjoy, because of how limited my capacity is. Your channel not only provides a wide range of genres, but you also go into some depth about them, like its tropes and basic plot points, and if there will be a happy ending or not. This information allows me to determine if the tropes and plot are things I'm gonna eat up or not. And if do NOT want spoilers, I'll skip ahead to the next book in your video. It's amazing to me how that's STILL a difficult concept for people to grasp in 2025. Because of that, in my opinion, there's another motive with that person, and it most likely has BARELY anything to do with how you actually talk about books and spoilers. Keep being you, Jenn, keep being awesome, keep being my favorite book person on RUclips. I rely on you and your extra info, my enjoyment is dependent on it.
I love Yr videos and I like that u talk in details about each book bcz that has led me to read Some of my favorite books including the acotar series as I didn't like the 1st book in the series but Yr description of acomaf that convinced me to give it another chance.
Thank you for sharing this with me. It's hard not to second guess myself when I get criticism like that, so it's good to be reminded that I'm on the right track!
Good gracious! If they don’t like how you talk about books, they don’t have to watch. The truth is (as everyone is saying), we watch to see the books you’re passionate enough to talk about, good or bad, and we want your reasons. I read anywhere from 15 to 30 or more stories in a month and I’m barely scratching the surface of what’s out there- I need the info and the details to know if I should be adding a book to my list! I even watch people who read sub genres of romance that I have no interest in reading because I want to know what’s on their radar. I admit that I still get influenced and occasionally get sucked in by the hype, but I prefer to be informed because I’ve been let down by the “popular” books more than a few times. Granted, YOU definitely make my TBR longer, but I’m hardly complaining, lol! 💕💕
I love coming to your channel, I don't have bookish friends that read Romance. Where else can I find out a little more than the blurb tells me. "The book refuge" that's where... We have very similar tastes in books. so I will be popping in for Rec. 📚 Do you boo.
Thank you Jen! I enjoy your channel. First time commenting. I just downloaded High Sticking The Heart audiobook from Hoopla. It sounds amazing and I love Christian Fox as a narrator. I just listened to the newly released Stepbrother Dearest in duet with him and Andi Arndt and it was SO GOOD. If you haven't listened give it a try!
I'm so sorry for the harsh comments that were sent to you. Everyone has a right to their opinions but it's not okay to be trolley about it. I love your recommendations and how you review them. If it's worth buying the book I need to know. You give just enough information about the book so I know if I'd be interested. I love the Sassy Jen always have. You are such a precious person to all of us!! And this is your channel you do what you want and we are here for it. Peace.🤗😊📚❤️🤔
Hey Jen here is my January wrap up and favorites 1. All the missing pieces by Catherine Cowles 2. Steal my heart by Laura Pavlov 3. Fight by Sloane st James 4. Visions of darkness by AL Jackson My favorites were steal my heart and all the missing pieces . Steal my heart has a local gossip newspaper named after me the Taylor tea😊LOL
I love the way you talk about books. Recently, someone commented on my video that I read too many MM romances and could not talk about them enough. I ignored this comment, partly because I didn’t know what to do and partly because I can read as many MM books as I want.
People are so odd to go to a book reviewers channel and complain about how they talk about books is really weird. I like how you talk about books which is why I never miss a video.
Jenn please give us more details on the books you recommend . i am over 40 so my tastes are different , more selective and i like the quality of books not its popularity.😘
That's pretty much the only one I know as well. Keepsake by Amy Oliveria has a retired fighter who gets back in it for a few fights. He does some underground ones now and then. I also believe Kikki Castle has fighter romance. And if you are willing to try some historicals, there is the Boxing Baroness by Minerva Spencer or the Victorian Prizefighters by Alice Coldbreath. Look at that, I thought of a few! lols!
hi! I love your videos and really appreciate how you talk about books! I know there have books I'm on the fence about that I've either picked up or passed on based on the info you provide and if I don't want to know anything I just skip. I'll never understand the hate...just don't watch move on! I was wondering if you would ever do a deep dive video for Claire Kent? I don't know how working for her effects that....but if not where do you recommend starting? I want to get into her....I did just buy the audio for Haven.... Thanks! 💜💜
That person obviously is not a member nor has not listened to you talk on your channel. How rude! You give just enough away to let us decide if it is something that we might be interested in.. just perfect 😊😊
What a weird thing for someone to comment on a video! It's like someone coming into your house and saying they don't like your decor. People are weird sometimes. I am never bothered by spoilers, and appreciate it when people go into more detail in their reviews.
When a RUclipsr is talking about a book that I haven’t read yet I do either of two things 1: I turn the volume right down so that I can’t hear until that particular book discussion is over or 2: I come back at a later date when I’ve finished reading the book & therefore I can see what they thought of that particular book then. If you sit and listen to anybody talk about books that you haven’t read then that’s a you problem because you were obviously too lazy or inept to do either of the above. How anybody can blame a RUclipsr for spoiling a book if they’ve sat there listening instead of opting out just dumbfounds me, like…. what?!?! Saying that, I don’t mean anything meanly, I’m just commenting on something that I find ridiculous 🤷🏻♀️ Don’t change a thing Jen because your fabulous just as you are!!!!🥰 I just came back to say, I’m an older lady who is really bad at technology stuff so if I can do it anybody can. God Bless ✝️
There are a few booktubers that I decided, after watching several of their videos, were just not, for one reason or another, for me. I stopped watching them. After awhile, their videos stopped popping up in my suggestions. Simple as that! No need to reach out to anyone; no reason to complain.
You go girl! Don't let anyone put you down! ❤
I like how you don't knock the author, but just state how you feel about the book. I try to do the same in my Goodreads reviews. ❤😊❤
Please keep talking about the books. That's what I love the most about your channel
I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and the way you talk about books. Don't ever change a thing your doing. Also I just need to say you have helped me fall back in love with reading. Thank you for being you ❤

Good morning Jen thanks for sharing another wonderful video 😊❤.
Good morning! Happy to share with you!
@TheBookRefuge thanks for your hard work ☺️❤️
Hey Jen here is my January wrap up and favorites
1. All the missing pieces by Catherine Cowles
2. Steal my heart by Laura Pavlov
3. Fight by Sloane st James
4. Visions of darkness by AL Jackson
My favorites were steal my heart and all the missing pieces . Steal my heart has a local gossip newspaper named after me the Taylor tea😊LOL
Those are some great ones.
I love the way you talk about books. Recently, someone commented on my video that I read too many MM romances and could not talk about them enough. I ignored this comment, partly because I didn’t know what to do and partly because I can read as many MM books as I want.
Heck yes, girl! Read everything you want. They can find someone else I'd they don't want your taste. It's super easy to move along.
People are so odd to go to a book reviewers channel and complain about how they talk about books is really weird. I like how you talk about books which is why I never miss a video.
Where did you get your journal?
They are just mole skin bullet journals off Amazon! 🥰 they come in a 2 pack!
U look amazinggg today❤
Thank you so much!
Jenn please give us more details on the books you recommend . i am over 40 so my tastes are different , more selective and i like the quality of books not its popularity.😘
You got it, girl! I'll keep being an over-sharer, never fear!
Do you have recs on boxing/kickboxing dark romance?
They are not really dark but the On the Ropes series- the first book is Fighting Silence- by Aly Martinez are very good romances about boxers.
@ruthregan8986 Thank you 😊
That's pretty much the only one I know as well. Keepsake by Amy Oliveria has a retired fighter who gets back in it for a few fights. He does some underground ones now and then.
I also believe Kikki Castle has fighter romance.
And if you are willing to try some historicals, there is the Boxing Baroness by Minerva Spencer or the Victorian Prizefighters by Alice Coldbreath.
Look at that, I thought of a few! lols!
@TheBookRefuge Thank you 😊 I'll look them up.
I don't know if MMA would be close enough for you but there is The Redemption Series by Sarah Castille. It starts with Against the Ropes.
hi! I love your videos and really appreciate how you talk about books! I know there have books I'm on the fence about that I've either picked up or passed on based on the info you provide and if I don't want to know anything I just skip.

Thanks! 💜💜
I do actually plan to do one! I think I'll put it together soon, because with the Release of Devotion, it might be a good time!
ecsorted was the first book i read of hers and loved the simplicity of it and power. cant wait to read devotion !
That person obviously is not a member nor has not listened to you talk on your channel. How rude! You give just enough away to let us decide if it is something that we might be interested in.. just perfect 😊😊
Thank you! All the support today has me blushing. I love my viewers and book friends!
What a weird thing for someone to comment on a video! It's like someone coming into your house and saying they don't like your decor. People are weird sometimes. I am never bothered by spoilers, and appreciate it when people go into more detail in their reviews.
Thank you! Yeah, trolls on the internet need to get a life.
If I'm that annoying to them, why force themselves to watch me? Haha!

Thank you, Ruth! That is the classy way to do it. I appreciate you sticking with me. I'm glad I have been working out for you. XD
