After blogging for over a year now, I figure it was about time I created an "About Me" page!
I'm a full-time working mom with an amazingly supportive husband, John, and two boys John-John (9) and Justin (3). We live in the DC metro area. I work at a non-profit and provide chapter support (leadership training, conference planning, etc.).
I've been reviewing books for around 10 years now, but decided to take the plunge and create a blog in March of 2008. Reading has always been a big part of my life. Since I can remember, I've always had a book nearby or a book in hand. I began blogging about books because I love to discuss and recommend books.
My oldest son was/is an reluctant reader, so blogging has actually improved our relationship because I've been able to discover books that interest him. He begs to read each night, so that brings such joy to my life!
My husband, boys & I also have two cats ,Sylvester (tuxedo cat), Jadzea (tortoise shell) and a dog, Jack (Doxie/Chihuahu Mix).
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me! If you have any questions about my reviews, the books I blog about, or about me in general, please stop by my Contact Me page or email me at jennsbookshelf@gmail.com.

I didn't get to talk to you enough while we were at BEA, so I loved reading all about you. (Hopefully we'll have more time next year.) Thanks for sharing the picture of your beautiful family!
Lovely photo of your family. I had planned to write an "about me" page for this weekend's Bloggiesta too. It's good to see what someone else had done, I'm not sure what to include. So nice to be able to put a face to the name too. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
It's nice to know more "About Me"/You! Your blog looks great!
How neat! I love learning more about book bloggers. The about me pages are always what I click on. Of course, I don't have one...lol!
What a fantastic photo! Nice to "meet" you.
It's great to find out more about you and your family. :D
This is so great! I love seeing your lovely family and learning more about you. That really makes me connect more with what you write about here. Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful photo!This is a great about me page. I'm not in Bloggiesta but I do want to write an about me. Perhaps today.
What a great family photo! Your boys are absolutely adorable.
You have a beautiful family.. Thanks for sharing!
What a nice looking family! Adorable boys! Thanks for the look into your life.
How nice to see a family picture! I have quite a few friends in the DC area and plan to visit in early December. Maybe we could meet up again for a diner breakfast :)
What a great family picture! You have a beautiful family! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
OMG, what a cute family pic! Your kids are beautiful. I too am in a mixed race marriage (my husband is Chinese) so am partial to the beautiful children these types of relationships produce!
Jenn- I missed meeting you at BEA... but I live in DC too! Maybe we could meet up for coffee sometime?
Thanks for all the comments! My family is my pride and joy!
Stephanie-we always get so many comments on the boys' complexion! It's a gorgous combination of mine and my husband's skin tones!
Gayle-I'd love to meet up with you! We're planning a DC blogger tweetup around The National Book Festival, too!
What a gorgeous family you have! Now we can put a face to the aspiring blogger to be :)
Beautiful family! I can't believe how much your boys look alike, considering that they're six years apart in age. So sweet.
Well you already know what I think of the beautiful J family. Great Post Jenn. I am still catching up with a lot of things. Your blog looks great.
