Hi! I’m Jordan—formerly @theheartofabookblogge Hi! I’m Jordan—formerly @theheartofabookblogger, now @chaptersofjordan.

This change has been a long time coming but that doesn’t make it any less scary! The Heart of a Book Blogger has been my online name for over a decade (which is wild), but I’ve grown so much since I created it and it’s time for my account to grow now too.

But don’t you worry, I will still be shouting about the books I love and sharing all my bookish (and occasional non-bookish) adventures! Nothing is changing there, just a little glow up to better reflect who I am now.

And so with that said, how about some fun facts that you may or may not already know about me!

✨I work in marketing at Penguin Random House where I get to talk about children’s and YA books all day long (the literal dream)

✨Mystery and romance are my fave genres, especially when they’re combined

✨Rivals to lovers is my fave trope (which IS different from enemies to lovers) and LOVE, OFF THE RECORD (pictured above) is one of my fave romances

✨Besides books, I love baking, binge-watching tv shows, puzzles, crafting, musicals, Taylor Swift, board games, and traveling

✨I’m a certified scuba diver

✨I will talk your ear off about my favorite ships if you let me

✨I’m a huge collector of Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books

✨I played basketball for 10 years (all the way through the end of high school)

✨I’ve gone sky diving

✨I have two cats named Kitty and Buster

Anything else you’d like to know? 👀

PS—for those who were my OG blog supporters, my website isn’t going anywhere!

I watched it not once, but twice over the holiday weekend and have been listening to the soundtrack on repeat all week long. It’s so much fun!!

So now I’m here with a book list for what to read next while we wait for news of a potential sequel! 👀

If you haven’t watched it yet, this is your sign—it’s worth the hype!
The butterfly effect is funny because what do you The butterfly effect is funny because what do you mean two months ago @treereads was telling me about this ship she likes from a new show and now we’re seeing one of the actors in person??

Over the weekend we went to see Patrick Ball (and Gina Torres) in Hamlet! Shoutout to Tree for immediately being down when I asked if we should do this and for bringing her copy of the play so we could take booksta photos.

Have you seen any Shakespeare plays? This is my second time seeing Hamlet live, but this was not a traditional production with the second half of the play turning into a contemporary noir adaptation.

And for those curious, the tv series we’re into that led to this adventure is The Pitt on HBO Max!
It’s time for a little mid-year check-in✨ Thi It’s time for a little mid-year check-in✨

This is all of the books that I’ve read so far this year (that I physically own)! As you can see, I started the year in a romance mood but then got hooked on mysteries—such is the mood reader life.

Not pictured are all of the work manuscripts, library books, audiobooks, and Nancy Drew books I’ve also read. Counting all of that, I’m at 44 books read so far this year!

What have been some of your favorite reads? Any goals for the remainder of the year?
I love it when a random weeknight turns into a mee I love it when a random weeknight turns into a meetup with book club friends!

Last night we saw @julieclarkauthor—she talked about the inspiration behind her new thriller THE GHOSTWRITER, juggling writing while also teaching fifth grade, and the process for finding the cover. Take a peek at the book’s pretty edges! 👀

I’m continuously thankful for my local library system and their author talk series—thank you @ocpubliclibraries for the fun evening and gifted book!
