Sunday Post #2: The One With the Calm Week

11:30 AM

This week has been a calm one in comparison to last week. I did accomplish quite a bit in terms of content (both that went live and is queued up for the week to come) and my anxiety was, thankfully, near non-existent.

Sunday Post #1: The One Where I MAY Have Gone Overboard

12:13 PM

This is technically not the first time I've done a Sunday Post (hosted by Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer) but it has been SEVERAL years, and I only posted probably twice at most, and I didn't tag it as simply Sunday Post (I probably did it as !JESSICA DOES SUNDAY POST or something equally as inconvenient. So, we're just pretending to start over here!...

Welcome, Welcome

BOOKED J was created by a group of friends who wanted nothing more than to discuss literature with the world. In the time since, Booked J has gone through a number of changes in name and content.

Presently run by Jessica, a freelance writer, singer, Goodreads Librarian and avid reader, Booked J is--somehow--still going strong. With several years of book blogging under her belt, and a desire to work with the literary community in making it more diverse, she is always open to collaborations.

You can always find Jessica obnoxiously singing show-tunes into her morning coffee. When not reading or researching true crime, she is likely running around outside with her dogs and generally making a fool of herself.
