“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” - C.S. Lewis

Hi, I’m Karen!


profile

Welcome to my little book corner of the internet!

For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessed with books, reading and writing. Like, obsessed.

If you need me, you can almost always find me with my nose in a book, at Barnes and Noble buying new books or browsing the shelves at the library.

In fact, I have a TBR list that is a mile long and I’m constantly adding titles to that list. (Much to my husband’s chagrin lol!)

A few months ago, I decided to take the leap and finally write the novel and the story I have had in my head for many years. So I decided to start a bookstagram and booktok to share what I am currently reading, books on my shelves and my journey to becoming an author.

Which has led me to becoming The NJ Bookworm!

Here, you will find book reviews, bookish gifts, updates on my novel and more. I’m so excited to share my love of reading with you and hope you find enjoyment and new titles on my website and social media pages.

Thank you for being here!
