Essays on Civil Disobedience edited by Bob Blaisdell
Exploring all the indie bookstores in Massachusetts has meant an ever-growing TBR pile. When we recently visited The Thoreau Society Bookshop in Concord, I couldn’t leave without some of their namesake’s writing. Because I already owned much of it, I opted for a collection he…

This Safe Darkness by Alexis Maragold
I need to give a very big thank you to The Nerd Fam for helping me get an ARC of This Safe Darkness by Alexis Maragold. The moment I read the description, I knew I wanted this one. More and more lately, I’ve been seeking…

Murder Bimbo by Rebecca Novack
Usually when publishers reach out to me with an ARC offer unprompted, they mention why. There’s usually a line in the email that states which book I reviewed favorably that made them think I’ll like this one too. This time, that went unsaid and I…

The Bone Queen by Will Shindler
After finishing my last read, I dove right into another ARC. This month has several releases that I’m excited for. One of which is a very spooky-sounding tale I’d stumbled across while browsing NetGalley. This wasn’t an author I was familiar with, and it turned…

Silver & Blood by Jessie Mihalik
I received an invitation to ARC read Silver & Blood by a representative of the publisher after I’d recently read and loved another ARC from them. If they were so sure I’d like it, I figured I’d give it a shot even without really knowing…

Bound by Alyson Dawn
Over the summer, I read Marked by Alyson Dawn. I had a lot of fun with its characters, and wanted to see more of its unique shadow magic system. Therefore I was very excited to get a message asking if I would read an ARC…

Valley Wild – Littleton, MA
Recently, we visited Valley Wild Books in Littleton, MA. It’s a treasure trove of secondhand physical media and original works from local artists. You can find anything here, but they somehow still keep it accessible. On top of everything else, the store makes for a…

Mercy And Bullets by Tony Brown
I have been following Tony Brown’s writing for about twenty years now, perhaps a bit longer. I used to have the privilege of watching him perform live on a regular basis. While those opportunities have become much less frequent, I still subscribe to his Patreon.…

The Thoreau Society Shop – Concord, MA
This one may technically count as a gift store, but since it’s one dedicated to a literary figure, The Thoreau Society Shop in Concord, MA still made our list, especially because they still sell a lot of books. These of course include titles from Henry…

Blood Sings & Blood Binds by Denisa Mih
Blood Sings and Blood Binds are the first two installments of the Beyond the Gloom series by Denisa Mih. Blood Binds publishes this coming Sunday, January 11th. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of the second one along with a copy of the…

Felixology – Maynard, MA
This time I need to show you one of my favorites, and probably the bookstore I visit the most frequently. It’s Felixology in Maynard, MA! The owner has created a gorgeous space full of whimsy and fantasy in honor of her late son, Felix. They’re…

Federal Street Books – Greenfield, MA
We recently drove out to Greenfield to visit Federal Street Books, which was an absolute gem. Believe it or not, they actually have more than 18,000 titles in stock, many of which are available for browsing online. I’d still recommend stopping in, if only for…
