“Jennifer has been a great book club moderator for us, beloved by all members. She is always able to discuss plot, structure, writing style, author, and the feelings raised by what we read. She has a wide literary knowledge and is flexible with the book choices we’ve made. There is a very positive intellectual energy about her. She is respectful of the wishes of our group and yet she almost feels like one of us. We have so enjoyed her!”
