Linking Up: Blog Star (2)

Hey friends! Welcome and thank you for visiting Between the Bind, where we read, review, and introduce new books and authors for your novel-lovin' pleasure! If you've been here before, I'm so happy you returned! And if you're new to my little blogging corner, I hope you enjoy it enough to follow along for more than just today. :)


Blog Star is hosted by the loverly Mrs. Monologues (follow her - she's freaking fabulous!) and introduces bloggers from across the blogosphere to connect with other new and unique blogs focused on a variety of topics. Blog word-vomit. haha! If you'd like to be a part of Blog Star, go ahead and link up HERE and start visiting some awesomeness. :) Now to a little about me.



1. Hiya! I'm Jenna Lynne, Jenna, or JL (yeah I know, JL is lazy type). *wave*
2. Reading is "the other man" in my life (umm and can we just stare at those book shelves?! Shelf porn! Is that a thing? Like food porn?). My goal with starting this blog was to *hopefully* help you fill the next spot on your bookshelf...with maybe a little awesomesauce thrown in. ;) I enjoy reading indie authors and introducing you to books you may not have heard of otherwise - although I read (and love) mainstream authors too! :)
3. These are my furbabies, Bella and Maddox. They are spoiled and crazy, just how I like 'em. *squeeze!*
4. I am obsessed with coffee. I ADORE it in all of its forms - although my newest obsession is  dark chocolate covered coffee beans. If you haven't, you should.
5. Peonies. I just wanna stick my face in 'em! 
6. I gravitate toward books that take me into a world unique from our own. I read a lot of paranormal romance, urban fantasy, mature YA, but I also love me some romance and erotica - sometimes you just need a little spank in your life! (I just snorted at that last sentence...now you know that I'm corny and snort. *high five*).
7. I am OBSESSED with braids. I love them. I used to try a new one every week before blogging and teaching (lovingly) took over my life - now I just have braid envy. :)

I hope you come on back to hang out and tell me what your newest reads are or just to laugh with me on Wahoo! Wednesday's!

I am so grateful to be a part of this fantabulous community and enjoy reading and learning from so many of your blogs.

Hugs and Puffy Hearts,
Jenna Lynne

  2. #3 Oh, Bella and Maddox. I had a schnauzer named Leonard that has gone to be with the Lord that looked just like them.
    #4 AMEN
    #7 will you come braid my hair?

    Thanks for stopping by my place, I try to broaden my horizons with folk that are different from my norm and I think you fit into the "avid reader" category. I expect you to tell me what I should be reading :)

    1. #3 Awwe Leonard I'm sure was a dollbaby. :)
      #4 *smiles*
      #7 Yes please! :) I braid 5-year-old hair often and am in major need of some adult hair braiding...although I've gotten rather good at braiding straight with a wiggley bug in front of me. :)

      My pleasure for stopping by - and I'll be by again soon! :) *hugs*

  9. Your self description cracks me up! All of it. I am currently reading 50 Shades, so "sometimes you need a little spank in your life" literally made me LOL.
    Thanks for stopping by! And thanks for the sweet comments! My momma made me the scarf I am wearing in the picture....I have about 5 of them, all different colors, and still need more :)
    I look forward to some great book recommendations! I love all kinds of books, but sometimes I just don't know how to pick them. Ha!

  11. I can't wait to see the books you recommend. And yes, there is something about a shelf full of books that does it for me too. I love the idea of a cozy library surrounded by floor to ceiling books. I think I would never leave.
