Books
I'm currently reading "Julie and Julia" by Julie Powell
Books I Highly Recommend:
Becky Crouch Pattersons Hondo, My Father;
Hemingways A Moveable Feast;
Larry McMurtrys nonfiction is fascinating. I especially like In A Narrow Grave (although when it comes to his fiction, The Last Picture Show series is definitely a favorite of mine...you really get attached to those characters);
O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi;
J.M Barrie's Peter Pan;
Robin McKinley's Beauty
Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason's The Rule of Four
Mark Twain's The Diary of Adam and Eve
Cormac McCarthy's The Road
Nicole Krause's The History of Love
(i'm sure there's more--these were just the first few that popped into my head)

"Jenni's on top of it." James McMurtry
"Jenni Finlay CARES! All too rare, these days. She can do no wrong." Gurf Morlix
“For an artist, the greatest gift is to be able to concentrate on writing and performing while knowing that someone else is making the right calls on his behalf. Thanks to Jenni, I have that luxury. Her results have been incredible and the difference she has made in my career is astonishing. She makes this fun!!!” Jason Eady
"Jenni Finlay is a tireless worker/ promoter of music she truly believes in. She was raised on songs since her days as a wee toddler and she doesn't work something unless her heart's in it. And what a heart she has. She's earned the respect of her peers and is able to open doors and help musicians further their careers in these turbulent times of this crazy music business we call home. I will definitely use her services again on my next release. Plus, she always takes my calls and I'm kind of a weirdo so at least I get to talk to a real human being every once in awhile." Steve Poltz
