The Book Refuge
США
Добавлен 19 апр 2011
Welcome to The Book Refuge!
I am a lover of all things Romance and I am so happy you are here to share it with me.
I started this channel in 2018 and I NEVER could have dreamed up all the amazing people I was going to meet. I wanted a place to talk about the books I loved and give people great recommendations that bring them joy. I have created a welcoming space, a Refuge if you will, to share our opinions, free of judgement or shame.
Romance is my heart and soul. I love it all, but my favorite Sub-Genres are: Historical, Dark Contemporary, Fantasy, Mafia, and Taboo. I strive to create a SHAME-FREE zone, where all RESPECTFUL opinions are welcomed and considered. Romance gives me the promise of a Happily Ever After (HEA), no matter what the characters have to go through. As long as they are together and in love by the end, I am willing to give it a go. And if it gets a little kinky along the way... that's a bonus!
So welcome to The Book Refuge, I am so happy to have you!
XOXO,
Jenn

❤❤❤
I love that Merphy Napier was one of your inspirations for starting Booktube, I legit binged all her videos before starting my channel 🥰
i love listening to your videos while studying for my upcoming bar exams. your voice is so calm and relaxing which is pretty great since my ears are pretty sensitive and i tend to use earphones while listening to not disturb anyone. i already adore you and your videos but you saying you're a tony stark girlie??? oh you definitely have me as a long time subscriber!
Iron Man forever!!! 😘♥️😍
❤️
😺
❤❤❤
👌👊👍💖
❤
Great video! This is probably one of my favourite videos from you!
❤❤❤
The art in the brutal Prince special edition is beautiful
Love q&as!
I love your monthly wrap ups! My favorite of June was a novella surprisingly: Silver Fox by Kayla Grosse.
I went to visit my brother for the last part of June and I got exactly zero reading done 😅 currently reading Mr. Darcy take a wife and Whispers of the sea by Emma Hamm
Season 3 of bridgerton was so disappointing 😢
Novellas tend to be more miss than hit for me but I really enjoyed Silver Fox.
Omg Benedict haters club!!!!!!! God I couldn't stand him!!
😅😅🫶🫶
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your take on the season.
How do you watch patreon videos? I currently watch your videos through RUclips on my television. Can you watch patreon videos on the RUclips platform or just the patreon app?
You do have to go through Patreon, yes. So that it can verify membership. I wish it could be shared to tvs. I watch most of my RUclips that way too.
And I so agree with you about An Offer from a Gentleman. UGH!! I hated the male character, who was an entitled boy. I admire your decision for not watching the series, and I don't think I am going to watch season 4 after what happened in season 3. I think if we met in person, we would be good friends! I share most of views on things. Keep creating, Jenn! You are amazing.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and thank you for your candidness! How is it that you have 22k subscriber only ? You should have way more!
From your keyboard to the RUclips gods! We can only hope!
I LOVED Anastasia!! Such an underrated book by Sophie Lark, slow burn but the plot & story was fantastic ❤. As for Mariana Zapata, I've only read 1 book by her but really liked it, From Lukov with Love, its slow burn but the plot/banter between characters held my attention, plus I'm always here for a figure skater romance 💙 and the audio is Teddy Hamilton & Callie Dalton. I'm not really interested in her other books but if you do eventually try her...that would be my rec lol
From Lukov with Love is my favourite too! I love the banter 😂
📚
Thanks for sharing that last book ill def need to look for it. ❤ Happy 4th!!
🩷
💚
Great video
Don’t always comment but I always watch nearly every video. And now I’m a Patreon and neglecting to watch those videos (don’t ask why because I’m crazy lmao 😂) Your one of my first romance focused book tubers I found years ago and I love the detail you give! I’m sure I’ve found favorite books and authors because of you alone :) It blows my mind that you said most your views are recent! People are late to the party 😜
🥰❤️🫶 Well, thank you so much!!
💚
The only family that knows of my booktube channel is my husband and my kids 😂, a few of my in-laws know but they don’t watch my videos. I don’t have anyone close to me that reads romance, so I love having book besties online I can talk with about romance. I tried getting into Mariana Zapata, but I am not into super slow burn romances 🤷🏻♀️. I love your tea time video’s 🫖
😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
Love this kind of video! 👏👏
You were the first booktuber I started watching still a huge fan, typically never comment but I will start 🎉
Thank you so much!! 🥰
me too. i always come here for mafia recs.
Oh did you hear they changed Michael to Michaela?? 🤣 thoughts? 59:55
I'm refraining from watching for a few reasons. Haha! Jessen gave me the breakdown and I wasn't really interested anyway. So... no point.
Was that alllll the questions answered?? 55:14
I did not do every single question, no. Haha! I have creators privilege. 😉
Jen, do you have any books recs where the fmc leaves the father or older man for the younger man/son?
Oohhh.... I'm not sure... that's a good one.
@TheBookRefuge Right? Like maybe mafia son or sugar daddy's son. Something like that. Unhappy in an older arranged marriage, so affair with someone younger/age appropriate. I've been looking.
I enjoyed the catch up❤
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️😘
☕️
So weird, I just thought “what was that book that Jen recommended” …. I got a notification for this video! 😂
I am everywhere! Hahaha!
Which authors do you want to interview that you haven't this year😊
Thank you for sharing. Great answers and insights as always. ❤
I agree love God of Fury. I liked Rina's Empire series too, but the rest of them were messy, Thinking about it its probably because I dont like or identify as her female characters, they are usually too messy childish. When I read a book no matter who the male character is the female character is always me. Maybe thats why we like the Fury one because we kinda are in the middle. I did not finish God of War. Also the emphasis they have on mental health today is way out of balance. It is not about tempering or resilience. Going through destructive times is what makes us strong too many young people esp women are highly mentally emotionally and psychologically unstable. too many of Rina's characters reflect that. Plus psychiatrists have become the new charlatans. They dont take about gut health, which is where our immune system is centered as well as many hormones.
I really liked the Feud 💜💜 I read it after you mentioned it in a vlog and it was so good.
😂💖
