This post originally appeared on Book Riot, but I think it’s worth sharing here as well. Inspired by a by a study by Lee & Low Books that showed the absence of authors of color on the New York Times top 10 bestseller list, Book Riot made it a priority to share more books by authors of color, [...]
Book List
One thing that I think is interesting to watch is when a topic starts to show up in a bunch of books around the same time. There have been a glut of books recently about the impact of technology on our minds, for example, that all take on the topic from a slightly different angle [...]
I think I mentioned that I’m on a bit of a kick for books about Crazy Rich People and Their Big Houses. It started with Empty Mansions and continued with The Secret Rooms. It’s even bleeding into my fiction reading with The Emperor’s Children, which has its fair share of rich people craziness. Not one [...]

Even though I’m taking some time to assess and explore how I blog, I didn’t mean for this place to go to radio silence this week (or to get woefully behind on responding to comments). But that’s life I guess, and I’m not beating myself up about it. I haven’t been reading a ton this [...]
Today’s guest post comes from Savvy Working Gal, a blogger I’ve been familiar with for several years but just started to get to know better over the last eight months or so. We’ve been emailing back and forth regularly to brainstorm blog topics and ideas and I think her support has helped me feel confident [...]
Today’s guest post comes from a reader that I admire a lot, Mark, who blogs at Maphead’s Book Blog. Mark and I have pretty different tastes in nonfiction, but I admire his throughout reviews and his ability to write about serious nonfiction on serious topics in a way that makes me add to my TBR pile. Enjoy! [...]
