My deepest condolences to Jennifers family. I only knew your daughter through her inspiring YouTube videos, she inspired me to read more, her intelectual and inspiring book videos continue to inspire others and myself. In her memory, I wish to read a Wilkie Collins novel for this month of October. Gone too soon to be with God, may God preserve her now and unto life everlasting.

It’s been a while since Jenny has passed, but I had a random thought about her. Perhaps this was her way of saying hello to me and saying she’s ok.

She always loved books, histories, and her sense of witty humor with Shakespeare was some of the best I had ever heard. 

I went to college with her and was in several college classes with her. My favorite memory comes from when we had to act out Othello. She put all of this make-up on me to look like the bear at the end of the scene. We made up dance interpretations at the very end. That’s how funny she was. She was always a joy to see at the UNCG library when she was working. The last time I saw her was prior to the pandemic. She was working away in the archives. Her YouTube channel was always fun to get new info on what was good to read. 

She’s deeply missed and send my love to her family and very close friends still a month or so later.

I am so sorry that she is gone way too soon. 

Just this week I passed on one of her videos to my neighbor, and now today I see that she is no longer with us.

This is so very sad.

I only knew Jennifer through her channel, but was always impressed by her style and simple way of presenting books, even books that were beyond my own scope…seen through Jennifers eyes made me feel that I could also find it in myself to accept the challenge. She was intelligent but not a show off. I always loved the simple way she ended her videos, just saying “goodbye”. No fanfare. I feel that for me, she has simply done that for one final time. I know she will be genuinely missed by myself and others. May God bring His comfort to her family.

I was so very sorrow to see the announced departure of Jennifer on her Book Tube channel.  I did not know her personally but was a big fan of her posts on YouTube.  I was shocked to read the announcement and though I did not know her in person it depressed me to read of a young girl with such a vibrant personality to slip away from unknown causes. 
Please accept my deepest condolences and know that she is truly missed.

Although I did not meet Jennifer in person, she inspired me to read widely which has brought so much enjoyment to my life. She was such a lovely, intelligent YouTube contributor. My deepest condolences to her mother, Pam and her other family members. May she rest in peace.😔🌸✝️

Jennifer was the very best thing I had ever done. ❤️  Het Father. Love her so much ❤️ David Brooks

Jennifer was the first BookTuber I ever watched and she remained my favorite. You felt like what you saw in Jennifer’s videos was the real deal. She was beautiful, intelligent, articulate, funny, and gone too soon. My heartfelt condolences to everyone who knew and loved her.

We ate together in same lunch group at Grimsley. She was a good friend.  She was always warm, welcoming, and never afraid to indulge in some silliness.

I never met Jennifer personally but I was a follower of her You Tube channel & looked forward to listening to her talk about books . She has left a hole for so many people in our little community, her passion & personality influenced many of the books I read. Thinking of her family at this sad time, she will be missed but also remembered.

Although I didn’t know Jennifer personally,  I watched her you tube often and was inspired by her and her thoughtful intelligent discussions about books.  Those videos and books will stay with me forever and that’s a lovely legacy to leave so thank you Jenn.  Sending thoughts of comfort to her family at this difficult time.

Jennifer was one of my favorite booktubers- so genuine, intelligent, and always made me laugh. I am still so heartbroken that she’s gone, and will rewatch her videos at some point when it doesn’t hurt so much. I cannot imagine the loss this must be to family & close friends, my heartfelt condolences.

Pam and family
I am so very sorry for your loss.  Praying for God to give you His peace, His comfort and His strength

I came to know Jennifer through her YouTube channel where she brought joy, insight, and warmth to me and many others. I loved her wit, her analysis of what she was reading, her vast knowledge of history, and her eclectic taste. She seemed incredibly genuine and someone I would have been blessed to call a friend. My condolences to all those who knew and loved her. She will be greatly missed.

Jenny and I had lost touch over the years but I always remember her fondly from my freshman year of high school. We were in the same lunch group and saw each other almost daily. She was one of the first people to show me kindness and become a friend and I’ll always remember sneakily texting her while in civics class or running into her at Friendly and catching up a few years later. She was so excited to show off that Deathly Hallows tattoo she had just gotten. Jenny truly was a bright star in this world and I’m glad to say I knew her.

Meeting Jenny was a highlight of this trip, I regret not making arrangements to see her again in person while I had the chance.

I was a subscriber to Jennifer's Booktube channel. She was my favorite Booktuber. I found her insights on books that she had read so very interesting and compelling, and she in large part was responsible for my having read eight classics last year. Her enthusiasm, her wit, and her passion for books and for life was truly inspiring. I have a copy of Dante's Divine Comedy on my shelf and purchased it because of her recommendation. I am heartbroken at her passing and she will remain in my heart and in my mind forever; she made a huge difference to my life and will continue to do so in the years to come. Please know how much she was loved and appreciated by so many. Rest in peace, angel.

This is Jennifer's  Father  she is  the  very  Best thing I ever did ❤️. She was so Precious  and  smart. It's  very  hard to breathe. Love her so much ❤️!!!

Sunday school was always better with you, watch over your family my sweet friend.

It is so crazy i am seeing this, i remember us going to church together and going to summer camp, being in the choir together, we were in girl scouts together I believe we even went to Savannah Georgia for a trip . I did a lot with you when I was younger you were one of my best friends. Unfortunately when I moved to California we never kept in touch, I did follow you on social media and was grateful enough to see you grow up into an amazing woman, a woman I wish I was at least half of. You always had a smile on your face and you had such a beautiful soul. Pam and the rest of your family, I send my condolences. May god be with you and Jenny watch over you all. I will praying for all of you.

I loved this young woman.  She was so smart and kind.  She brought so much love and joy to her family and friends.

I'm one of Jennifer's subscribers.  Her videos would pop into my feed in the early morning darkness, and she was terrific company over morning coffee. How many people can converse so freely on so many erudite topics, then launch into a charming conversation about baking, then as easily slide into such  wickedly clever humor. How lucky those who knew her in person. How less sparkling my mornings are without a new video from her.

My sincere condolences.   I was a subscriber to Jennifer's channel.  I watched all her videos.  She was an intelligent wonderful human being.

Jenny was one of the sweetest people I knew in college. She was so much fun to be around. Every time I visited UNCG, I made sure to say hello to her at the library. My favorite memory with her was during our Shakespeare class where she was the captain of a ship and I was the bear. We laughed all day at our performance, but still managed to get A+s. We shared a lot of classes together. She will deeply be missed with her K-Pop infatuation and love for historical artifacts.
