Here's the long version:
My name's Jenny, I'm 24 years old and I live in the UK. I used to work as a bookseller for Borders in the UK, for almost two and a half years. I now work as a bookseller at WHSmith.
I mostly review YA/teen books, though I do also review some middle grade/9-12 titles. I'll read the occasional adult novel, especially if it involves vampires, epic romances or is written by Sophie Kinsella.
I first started Wondrous Reads in January 2009. I'd been posting my reviews on Amazon for quite a while, and came home from work one night and suddenly had the idea to start a blog. I quickly made friends within the blogosphere, and I love the whole YA community. Starting my blog is one of the best things I've ever done - I love it!
I'm a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight fan, and work on a couple of related sites. I've been a staff member on BellaAndEdward.com since March 2008, and have been writing Twilight Saga news for ReelzChannel.com since March 2009.
I also love other TV shows, music, films, vampires, tennis and the Titanic.
