Jen's Reading List 2023

Hi! My name is Jen and I'm the founder of Jasper Tutoring Center. Every year, people ask me what I've been reading. So in 2023, I actually kept up with it! The titles below are in no particular order: some I read because I wanted to, some were assigned to me, and some I reviewed to see if they were appropriate for certain purposes. Feel free to ask me what I thought of a particular book next time you see me, or reach out to me to discuss!
