The Merrow’s Wrath by Mallory Wanless
When I got my June email from The Nerd Fam listing all the upcoming releases I could apply to read an ARC of, I figured I could fit one of those books into my schedule. As my luck would have it, (good or bad) there…

Wellfleet Marketplace Booksmith – Wellfleet, MA
A few weeks back, we made our way out to the outer Cape to visit the Wellfleet Booksmith inside of Wellfleet Marketplace in (you guessed it) Wellfleet, MA! This bookstore is a section of the larger market, but it’s sizeable enough to have earned it…

Vervain Hollow by Catriona Silvey
Gothic horror has really been calling to me lately. Therefore, when The Nerd Fam started taking applications for a Gothic horror ARC featuring “recovering” cult members and paranormal elements, I jumped at the opportunity. It was Vervain Hollow by Catriona Silvey. I couldn’t resist the…

The Confidante by Christopher C. Gorham
Last year, I got to review an advance copy of Matisse at War: Art and Resistance in Nazi Occupied France by Christopher C. Gorham. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s the kind of nonfiction that tells a true story instead of simply stating facts. The book…

We Call Them Witches by India-Rose Bower

Veiled Court by C. N. Crawford
I participate in more bookish Discord servers than I care to admit here. (Honestly I would need to count.) One of my absolute favorites is the one for The Nerd Fam. It’s full of wonderful people I love socializing and discussing books with, and it’s…

Annie’s Books and Gifts – Orleans, MA
On a recent weekend, we swung out to Annie’s Books and Gifts in Orleans, MA! This is another location that used to be a part of the former Annie’s Book Stop chain that now operates independently. This one is a lot bigger than it looks…

Demonic Cage by Adèle Dan
I first heard about Demonic Cage in one of The Nerd Fam‘s monthly mailings. Although I already had a few ARCs on my schedule, the summary piqued my interest and I couldn’t resist applying. It looked like a fascinating reinterpretation of Heaven and Hell that…

Unnameable Books – Turners Falls, MA
Recently we paid another visit to Unnameable Books out in Turners Falls, MA! This beautifully space gets its unique look from its former life as a tavern, but staff has done a phenomenal job of updating it to a place to enjoy books rather than…
