🚨 I've launched a trip to Ireland for October 2025, if you're interested for more info, check out the community tab or my instagram. Or you can visit the trip page for all the details, it's live if you want to book: trovatrip.com/trip/europe/ireland/ireland-with-jessica-owens-oct-2025
Hey hey! Look what's back: #BookCommuniTEA because it never ends. What is going on book threads? It's always miserable over there. Books need ratings? People using AI to steal published books? Oh, your "queen" was on Kelly Clarkson 🥴. And an author's debut novel...not looking good because they're actually not a Native author? Please share your thoughts below, but keep it cute and respectful. Thanks for watching!

Hey hey! FINALLY this website let me upload this vlog, sheesh. Anyway, Patrons voted and selected my vlog theme. So here is me reading books I was really hyped about when I first got them and then of course, they sat on my shelf to collect dust, whoops. Anyway, expect much yapping, coffee, a lot of Nigel, and some other random things. Thanks for watching!
