Jenna tends to highlight contemporary romance or young adult stories lately. Her current pick, 'Jenny: Branston High Series', is a YA romance that follows a new student navigating the social maze of a prestigious academy, with a focus on the prickly dynamic between her and the school's most reluctant star athlete. The story balances academic pressure with the awkwardness of forced partnership, which feels pretty authentic to the high school experience.

This month’s pick? A whimsical magical realism novel called 'The Library of Lost Tides'. Jenna described it as 'if Studio Ghibli adapted a Borges story,' which sold me instantly. There’s this enchanting mix of floating libraries and time-bending sea metaphors—perfect for her signature thematic deep dives. She highlighted how the prose mirrors tidal rhythms, which makes sense given her recent obsession with oceanic folklore podcasts.

Jenna's latest book pick totally caught me off guard—it's a gritty cyberpunk thriller! She usually leans toward cozy mysteries or historical fiction, so this shift to neon-lit dystopias feels fresh. The book, 'Neon Shadows', blends AI ethics with pulse-pounding heists, and I’ve already spotted fanart exploding on Tumblr.
What’s cool is how she tied it to current debates about technology—her newsletter mentioned interviewing the author about real-world parallels. Now my book club’s debating whether to pair it with 'Blade Runner' or that indie game 'Citizen Sleeper' for our next meetup.

Surprise twist: Jenna went full horror with 'Whispers in the Wainscoting'. It’s a Victorian-era haunted house tale that’s more psychological dread than jump scares. The way she gushed about the unreliable narrator makes me think she’s been binge-reading Shirley Jackson. Bonus points for her Instagram story comparing the wallpaper descriptions to that viral 'Yellow Wallpaper' TikTok analysis last month.

Romance fans rejoice—she chose 'The Astronaut’s Love Letters', a slow-burn epistolary novel between a Mars colonist and a poet on Earth. Jenna’s highlight reel of underdog tropes (enemies-to-lovers via zero gravity confession? Yes!) shows she’s still a softie at heart. The way she connects it to NASA’s Artemis program adds that nerdy depth we love her for.

Johnny Simmons thrives on competition—whether in the pool, in playful bets, or in charming his way through life. He’s used to being in control, but when Jane Shepherd enters his world, she proves to be an unexpected challenge.
Assigned to his study group, Jane is sharp, unfiltered, and unimpressed by his usual charm. Their first real interaction is filled with witty banter, subtle tension, and a clash of personalities that leaves Johnny both frustrated and intrigued.
A fiercely competitive swimmer meets his match in a sharp-witted girl who challenges him at every turn, winning unexpected bets and forcing him to rethink what it truly means to win—not just in competition, but in love and life.
Jenny & Jay - Volume 1 is the first installment in a five-novel New Adult series, following the lives of five childhood friends—Johnny Simmons, Paul, Brian, Aaron, and Daryl—all competitive swimmers bound by their deep friendship and relentless drive to win. While romance plays a central role, this is not a simple on-again, off-again love story; instead, the series explores the evolving relationships, rivalries, and personal growth of these young men as they navigate life, love, and ambition.
Nora Ellison has spent her whole life not knowing where she came from. Adopted as a baby, and raised by her grandmother Ruth. Until Ruth dies and leaves behind a tin box containing a birth certificate she has never seen, a letter and a photograph of a woman she does not recognise with the words Chiang Mai, 1998 written on the back.
She flies to Thailand to find answers.
On her first night she locks herself out of her rented cottage, falls into a fertilizer trench in the dark, and ends up stranded on a deserted road in a soaked sundress with nowhere to go. A car passes by and stops.
“What the actual hell do you think you are doing out here looking like that?”
Arlo Reeves is arrogant, sarcastic, and impossibly handsome. She is convinced she hates him. He takes her in for the night anyway.
What Nora does not know is that Arlo was partly sent to Chiang Mai to keep an eye on the cottage she is renting. What neither of them knows is that the secret buried in that cottage is the same secret Nora came to Thailand to find.
As Nora starts her investigation, she and Arlo keep ending up in the same places.
But the closer Nora gets to the truth, the more dangerous it becomes.
When she finally finds it and as the pieces start to fall into place, a hard slap cuts across her face before she can say a word.
“You think you belong here? You were given away. You were never wanted then and you are not wanted now.”
The slap stings and tears fall as she hears those words.
Meanwhile across the city, Arlo Reeves has a choice to make.

Jenna's 2024 book pick is 'The Familiar' by Leigh Bardugo, and honestly, it’s the kind of story that lingers in your mind long after you’ve turned the last page. Bardugo’s knack for blending historical depth with magical realism is on full display here, and the protagonist’s journey through 16th-century Spain feels both epic and intimate. I devoured it in two sittings—couldn’t help myself.
What really stuck with me was the way the book explores themes of identity and belonging, wrapped in a gorgeously written narrative. If you loved 'The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue,' this’ll hit the same spot. Plus, the cover art is chef’s kiss. Definitely a contender for my personal top reads of the year.
Jenna's book picks resonate because they feel like a friend whispering recommendations, not an algorithm shouting ads. Her niche isn’t just 'good books'—it’s books that do something, whether it’s 'Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow' making gamers weep or 'Babel' twisting history into a dark academia playground. She curates for emotional impact, not prestige, and that authenticity builds trust.
What’s wild is how her community runs with it—TikTok duets dissecting her fantasy choices, Reddit threads debating whether her literary fiction leans bleak or hopeful. It’s interactive curation, where her taste becomes a starting point for collective rabbit holes. That’s why her monthly wrap-ups get more hype than some bestseller lists.
Jenna's book picks are such a treasure! I stumbled upon her recommendations while browsing through a book club forum, and let me tell you, they never disappoint. You can find her selections on major platforms like Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and even indie bookstores through Bookshop.org. I personally love supporting local shops, so I often check if they carry her picks—many do! If you're into audiobooks, Audible usually has them too.
One thing I adore about Jenna's choices is how eclectic they are. From gripping thrillers like 'The Silent Patient' to heartwarming reads like 'The House in the Cerulean Sea,' there's something for every mood. I’ve lost count of how many times her recs have pulled me out of a reading slump. Pro tip: follow her social media for hidden gems that might not be as widely advertised!
Jenna's book picks and Oprah's selections couldn't be more different in vibe, and that’s what makes them both fascinating. Jenna often leans toward contemporary fiction with a quirky, heartfelt edge—think 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' or 'Where’d You Go, Bernadette.' These books feel like they’re written for people who love character-driven stories with a dash of humor. Oprah, on the other hand, tends to gravitate toward sweeping, emotionally heavy narratives like 'The Underground Railroad' or 'Caste,' which tackle big societal themes.
What I love about Jenna’s choices is how accessible they are. They’re the kind of books you can devour in a weekend and still feel deeply moved by. Oprah’s picks, while brilliant, sometimes demand more emotional energy. Both have their place, though—Jenna’s for when you need a literary hug, Oprah’s for when you’re ready to confront the world.
