About the Read with Jenna

Year is the year of the pick's featured month. The club began with the March 2019 pick. TODAY's Read With Jenna list has no dates and only reaches back to October 2021, and it skips How to Say Babylon (October 2023) and This Motherless Land (November 2024). Months, yearly counts, and picks before October 2021 come from Wikipedia's Jenna Bush Hager article; entries on TODAY's list cite it. Months with two picks: August 2020, February 2021 (second anniversary), and March 2024 (The House on Mango Street, a fifth-anniversary pick). Read with Jenna Jr. (children's picks) is a separate list and is not included.
