About
Hi! I’m Jenners. I’m a stay-at-home mom with an 8-year-old son. My passions are reading, my family, chocolate and warm bread with butter. Blogging is how I stay sane.
I used to have two blogs—a book blog called Find Your Next Book Here and a personal blog called Life With A Little One and More. One day, I decided it would be easier to combine the two blogs and so Life..With Books was born.

But enough of my yakking.
If you really want to get to know me better, here are some posts that give you a sense of who I am and what I’m about.

I don’t have a private email address for you, so I have to resort to contacting you here. Here’s my sad story…
On Sunday night I had this funny feeling that maybe I should suspend blogging for a little while or possibly go on hiatus. I have decided to retire from teaching at the end of the year, and the next eight weeks are going to be bittersweet as well as being pretty crazy.
Apparently the universe was speaking to me, because at the beginning of the day a teaching colleague came to me to report that some students — not ones that are in my classes — had discovered my blog and were talking about it. I am not worried about what I have written thus far because I’m pretty sure very few of my students want to read my book reviews.
I am, however, unhappy that what was a relatively private conversation among people that I consider special friends will now be scrutinized and possibly misrepresented by fourteen-year-olds and their parents. I may be over-reacting, but I feel that I want to keep my beloved blog as separate as possible from my job.
So — I’ve taken the blog private for the next eight weeks and won’t be posting. I hope that you will stick with me when I return. Feel free to contact me via email.
This is a test from the comment section.
Hello Jen. Did this go to the right verizon e-mail?
Hi Jenners
I can’t find an email address for you, so please forgive me intruding on your comment wall. I’d like to invite you to write about your favorite books at www.bookdrum.com, where you can add information, images, video, music and links to illustrate and explore the books.
Right now, we’re running a $3500 Tournament and we’ll be offering contract work to the best entries.
Best wishes

Love it! I love coming to your blog, and I love the photos of you on here. Your personality just shows through in all of them. I have given you an award on my blog
Thanks for the kind comment … and the award. I’ll be by to “formally” accept it soon. ; )
Hi there! I’ve had your blog/website bookmarked for some time now, and am finally checking it out. i still have more reading to do here, but wanted to say it’s awesome that you make books (and reading) such a priority in your life. My parents always had books they were reading when I was little — frequent trips to the library, used bookstores, etc. How can a kid grow up loving to read if hizzer parents aren’t setting a good example?
anyway, I look forward to getting to know you better!

Thanks for your comment. It warmed my heart. Books were always a big part of my life growing up too … I think it makes such a big difference if a child sees you interested in reading. And one thing my mom never denied us was books or trips to the library.
Hi, my name is Finda Ayu. I’m a college student of Limkokwing University, Malaysia. I’m now making an essay about chick lit book cover design. What is preferred by female readers and also how powerful a book cover is. It would be nice if I can hear your opinion too by filling up my questionnaire. If you’re interested, please send me an email at finda.ayu.w@gmail.com so I can send my questionnaire. Thank you so much!
I don’t read too much chick lit but I could try and fill out your questionnaire for you.
I was wondering what happened to your personal blog so I’m glad that you are combining both! It’s hard to keep up with two blogs isn’t it? I finally merged my weight loss blog into my personal one as well. It makes life so much simpler!
It does make life simpler! I felt pulled in too many directions. : )
