Lose Yourself in the World of Books
Also known as books I want to read this year that have not yet been published! For the sake of not doing another Bookish Tuesday post with no links to reviews, I'm also adding books I've already read that come out this year (some were on my favorites of 2022 as well). The End of… Continue reading Frontlist TBR for 2023
Also known as books I want to read this year that have already been published! Backlist is, essentially, anything that is already out. It's technically something more than 1 season old. Everything published from September to December is still technically frontlist (if I'm remembering correctly), but for these purposes, I'm treating it as anything pre-2023!… Continue reading Backlist TBR for 2023
I realized each time I do an end of year wrap up, I usually fail to mention which books were my favorites of the year. Sometimes I focus too much on the ones I didn't like, particularly if the last one of the year doesn't really resonate with me. I figure this is a good… Continue reading 2022 Favorite Books Read
It's time for my bi-annual seasonal reading recommendations! These are the books that I've put up for our staff picks for the summer for 2022. And this time, unlike the last few seasonal lists, I've actually reviewed most of them on here already! Each image links to the full review, if it doesn't go anywhere,… Continue reading Best Books for Summer Reading
It's March, which means at the store we're once again doing our Tournament of Books! The last time I posted about the Tournament was a week before we closed the store due to Covid so it's been awhile since we had a real tournament. This year, though, I have a lot of picks that are… Continue reading Tournament of Books 2022

I am, however, very much a hobby person and every few years a new hobby takes over my life and eats up all my time and right now I'm baking a… Continue reading Summer Reading Favorites
This year I have many, many children under the age of 4 to buy books for: Seb, Maeve, Gabriel, Eliana, Madison, Lincoln, the list goes on and on! As such, I've been starting to work on curating a picture book list that includes titles that are gorgeously illustrated, fun and easy to read aloud, and… Continue reading Best of the Best Picture Books
I've been in a romance mood lately for some reason, so I thought I'd revisit some of my favorite literary crushes over the years! Elementary & Middle School Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine Char - I reread Ella over and over again in elementary and middle school and it was my first "real" princess… Continue reading Literary Crushes & Book Boyfriends
Six years ago (pre-bookstore) I started a job that required me to drive a great deal. While I only lasted a year, I did make it through a lot of audiobooks in that time. My love of them has only increased so I figured why not share some of my favorites! As You Wish by… Continue reading Audio Delights
The Nonfiction Book Club has now been meeting for about a year and a half and in that time, we've stumbled on quite a few hidden gems of nonfiction. Our upcoming selections (we've picked through April 2021!) all sound spectacular, so I figured I'd do a recap of the favorites so far before we dive… Continue reading Best of Nonfiction Book Club
