Meet the Team

  • Marnazia Jenkins - Founder

    From childhood love was at the forefront of my mind with all the princess movies I watched and memorized. Then we step into my teen years and romance movies were my kryptonite especially “The Notebook” , and now I am a full adult who has not only found a new way to consume romance which was through books , I also found the love of my life..It’s like I manifested it no biggie haha!

    My name is Marnazia Thompson-Jenkins and I am an African American,I am apart of the lgbtq community , and most importantly a certified lover girl.

    My number one goal is to create a community where everyone is comfortable and accepted. The second goal, I want this to be a space where you make connections you never know where your next reading bff is in the world.
