When I am not traipsing around, I am an can probably be found gazing at data or reading books.

Unapologetic book worm
I am a voracious reader and love sharing the books I love (and the ones I think were total plonkers). If you are a bookworm, feel free to find me on Storygraph https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/lovelyoutliers or see my top recommendations https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/lovelyoutliers.
I have curated lists:
- Awesome books for wee ones (ages 1-4)
- Awesome books for little readers (ages 5-7)
- Awesome books for new readers (ages 8+)
- 5-star reads (the books that I really love)
- Nerdier lists, including reading lists for books on migration, mental health, and the social determinants.
Thanks for following!

Hi Jen ,
I really enjoy reading your blog and thought I’d say hi!
I was wondering whether you’d consider joining the Discovery book review community — I think we could potentially be a good fit.
In case you haven’t heard of Discovery, we spotlight gems of the indie publishing world — great books that are often overshadowed by big bestsellers.
What do you think? I’m happy to chat more via email! You can reach me on victoria.jacobi@reedsy.com
All the best, and thanks for your interesting work on the blog,
Victoria, Professional Book Nerd @ Discovery
