Hello friends! Krista here from Books And Jams, thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy my channel and found a video or two to watch. I love reading, always have since I was quite young. I even got in trouble quite a bit for talking during reading time because I would finish so much quicker than my friends and then want to talk to them!
I read all types of books. Whatever interests me in the moment is what I'll pick up. My go-to genres though are historical fiction and middle grade fiction. Although I've been loving light mysteries lately too. Have a book recommendation? Let me know! I love meeting new people and talking with my subscribers. Let's chat!

UNHAUL PROJECT #11 || Christian Fiction and Short Stories
Hi Krista - ☀️ I’m so glad you had an opportunity to kayak with a friend and a meet-up group. I give you a lot of credit for working on Jordan’s room. 🙏🦋🙏
I take care of my grandkids during the day and it’s go mode all day. Mine are 2 months, 2 year old, 3 year old , a 5 year old and an 8 year. With that many children you have to keep them busy doing stuff. Plus I have to feed and take care of baby, prepare breakfast and lunch, and potty training the two toddlers. But I just thank God that he gives me patience and a cheerful attitude and the physical ability to do this. I LOVE kids!
You should check out a Sparrow Among Stars by Sara Puissegur!! It just released and it’s a romantacy!
The Starfish Café series by Jessica Redland is wonderful!
Sounds like a fun one.
Promise of stardust
I think I still have that on my Christmas book exchange cart. Good call!
I am looking forward to this - I have so many series to work on! Mystery and fantasy will be easy for me - I will get creative with the other prompts.
Yay! I will have to get creative with some of them too. Need to finish planning it out.
✨💕✨💕✨💕
I loved The Moongarden - I need to get the sequel. I would add Starless Ocean to the list - I didn't particularly care about the characters but the writing is absolutely beautiful.
I am hopeful that I'll love it too. I am not familiar with Starless Ocean...oh wait, Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern? Is that the one?
@@BooksAndJams Yes, sorry - don't know why I blanked on that one. I meant Starless Sea.
I loved The Forest of Vanishing Stars, though my favorite Kristen Harmel is The Book of Lost Names.
I liked Book of Lost Names too. I have a few more of hers I'd like to read.
@@BooksAndJams me too.
Love your new t-shirt! T-Shirt JOY! 🤩 All of your “Star” books sound great. I love both Number the Stars by Lois Lowry (MG) and Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King (novella collection). I’ve been wanting to read Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli (MG) for years. Another fun shelf spotlight, Krista! 📚
Thanks! Bookish shirts are a lot of fun. I loved Number the Stars too. I read Star Girl a loooooooong time ago. Not sure I remember it much.
I did a reading challenge like that last year. I noticed that I had several books with “lies”, “liar”, and “lying” in the title. I decided to read them all back to back. It was fun. I got on well with all but one of the books. It quenched my thirst for thriller/mystery/suspense type books.
Loved this!! 🌟
I have The Giver of Stars on my TBR. I thought of Where the Forest Meets the Stars we read for book club. I have Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange out from the library I'm hoping to read this month!
Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I like the book, but this is one of those rare instances where I actually prefer the movie. The Giver of Stars was also a 5 🌟 read for me. I even used informational passages in my classes, and the students were fascinated at the background. Most students have grown up with school libraries and access to books (and sadly haven't taken advantage of that advantage/freedom...whole other soapbox). I want to read Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah and Number the Stars by Lois Lowry (a Holocaust book).
I’m going to try Sparks Like Stars but I’m also planning on reading Susan Meisner’s Stars Over Sunset Boulevard 💕📚
I would have never guessed "Star" as one of your words. Oh, I didn't. 🤣 I have The Silver Star, Starry Night and Star Wars. Haven't read any.
I love Giver of Stars
Pull of the stars and Number the Stars
Star books I've read: The Fault in our Stars by John Green, The Giver of Stars by JoJo Moyes, and Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli for the MAD (mothers and daughters) book club. I still want to read Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. I'm going to guess the word(s) book or library for the most used word in titles you own. Although I thought 'orphan' was a sure bet.
A recent favorite read of mine is To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, by Christopher Paolini…so good! Thanks for another fun video!
The only book in your stack that I've read is The Giver of Stars. Otherwise, I've read the middle grade graphic novel When Stars are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson. On and, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry.
I recommend When Stars are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson. It is ranking in my top three books of this year. Moongarden sounds like a must read to me.😊 Thank you for such an interesting list of books. I double checked the trigger warnings for Starfish and it is listed as a young adult book in Goodreads. It does sound like an important story for adults to read. Handing the subject matter of Child Sexual Abuse to a middle grader who may be hiding a very painful secret doesn’t sound advisable to me. I stay away from this subject matter now and I’m heading toward my 70th birthday next June. 😊
This is perfect, one of my reading goals is finishing some series 😅 love the creative prompt categories
I read the giver of stars and I’m adding Stella by Starlight to my want to read lists. I think the copy of that book you shared is beautiful.
Oh I love this - books with the same word in the title. I must have missed the one where people guessed the words. Giver of Stars in on my TBR. I read the Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek. It was the book I picked for my Historical Fiction Bookclub to read a while ago. I became fascinated with the Pack Horse Libraries. I even found a bunch of kids books about the subject and checked them out of the library to bring to our meeting when we discussed the book. Can't wait for the next video about books with ________ in the title.
❤📚❤ Loved the video. When your name is Starla, it was just a given. 😅😉 Added many of these to my read list! Thank you. Every Soul a Star by Wendy Mass. Stardust by Neil Gaiman. Stardust in Their Veins by Laura Sebastian. A few I remember enjoying.
I think Stardust would be a fun read. I enjoyed the movie.
@BooksAndJams 🤗👍...I think I enjoyed the movie even more!
I have Giver Of Stars checked out right now through Libby app.
Woohoo! Hope you love it.
I will be reading Sparks Like Stars for my August Buzzwordathon choice
It's fantastic.
Starfish Bowman was really good. 🎉
Nice. Glad to hear.
i"m surprised you didn't mention "when stars are scattered"
I know. I tried to get adult books for the ones I've read already because all my unread ones were middle grade. I had a couple other middle grade ones I've read already.
I bought Sparks LIke Stars at a used bookstore earlier this summer because I knew you and several other people had loved it. I'm excited to get to it this fall!
I hope you love it!
Black Forest is a mountain range in southwest Germany.
Ok. I remember looking it up when I read the book, but couldn't remember when filming.
Love your program and T Shirt.Take care waiting for your guitar little Dude would probably enjoy it to .He could sing along w you u could teach him love of music..just a thought...
Thanks, Therese. I actually won't e with little dude anymore. He started school this week.
Wow! Looks like an amazing time the water was so beautiful! 💜
Thanks! It was great to get out on the water.
Great vlog sister! So fun
Thank you friend!
I canoe. My knees won’t let me kayak. It would be so fun!
I hear that. It does get uncomfortable a bit, but I still love it so much.
. I’d end up in the water head first. Haha-old lady problems 🤣
Nice video!
Beautiful scenery. Flowers, Beach.
What a blast from the past! I used to read Rosamunde Pilcher all the time! I think I still have a couple of her books on my shelf!
Yay! I am really enjoying Shell Seekers.
P.s. nice tan😎
Yea! Another fun weekend fun! Love the vlog garden so pretty & the little dude starting school! These videos my fav❤🌻sounds fun kayaking -what a fun weekend you had📚🤗
So glad you enjoyed. Thanks, Rose.
Such fun!
Little Dude is getting so big!! And yes, I have to agree- after almost 35 years of caring for children I got to the point I preferred babies too. What a fun video!! I love your weekend vlogs!! 😊
He is so big! I am ready for a change back to babies.
Aww new adventures await your Little Dude. My favorite age is 1 - 4. And by 4 I actually mean the end of the 3's. LOL. I'd love to try kayaking. Looks fun.
I love kayaking, but don't get to go often enough.
Hi, my name is Angie and I’m new to your channel. So I’m not sure who the people are that you are referencing. But I’m sure I’ll get to know you better the more videos I watch. I live in NC. I am a breast cancer survivor. I recently rediscovered my love of reading while recuperating from a breast reconstruction surgery. Have a great week 😊
Welcome, Angie. I am so glad you're here! Thanks for watching and commenting and sharing a bit of who you are. Congrats on whoooping breast cancer's butt!
I always look forward to your weekend vlogs. Thanks for sharing your time with us.
Thanks so much Jeanette.
You are busy! So cool you went kayaking! My husband does it but not me yet.
It was a great weekend, even if I didn't get much reading done.
What a wonderful video. Capturing the changes…I will miss the Little Dude and your garden walks. But I expect there will be fun/different things to occupy your/our time. When I saw the red and the pink kayaks on the ground, I guessed that the pink one was yours! It is absolutely amazing how wind can change the effort Ed needed to complete a ride on the water. Be well, take care, and know that I am thinking about you as you clean Jordan’s room. Not an easy task, but I’m sure Jordan would approve the decisions you make. Be well, dear girl. ❤
Fun bingo board! I love it! For middle grade - it could be a series you're in the middle of.
I'm glad you like it. Yes, that would be a great use of the Middle Grade prompt!
I ALSO thought the appleton angle book was rather unique!! i got her new one form ala11
Fun! I look forward to reading more from Janice Hallett for sure.
