Heaven’s Tempest by K.J. West
I’m in a few indie author spaces where I’m lucky enough to hear writers gush about their books long before they’re ready for reading. It’s easy to get excited about those projects, and I love offering my services there as an ARC and beta reader.…

Readmore Books – Taunton, MA
A couple weeks ago, my sister and I drove out to Readmore Books in Taunton, MA! They’ve been here since 1975 with about 3,500 square feet of retail space, filled with thousands upon thousands of new and secondhand reads. This makes them one of the…

The Washwoman at the River’s End by Megan Shade
I first found The Washwoman at the River’s End on social media. I came across a cover reveal video that was absolutely stunning. Of course, I didn’t want to judge a book by its cover, but the description sold me. Not only is it a…

An Unlikely Story Bookstore & Cafe – Plainville, MA
Recently, my sister and I drove out to An Unlikely Story Bookstore and Cafe in Plainville, MA! This place is huge, and it’s easy to see why it’s a cornerstone of the community. Their kids’ section is also amazing, which isn’t surprising at all if…

A Broken Heart of Blackened Stone by Gina Denny
After my last read, I dove right into another ARC with an upcoming publication date. This is one I was so very excited to see appear in my inbox. It’s a debut novel, but I’ve been following the author for a long time. She has…

Annie’s Book Stop – Raynham, MA
This past weekend, my sister and I drove out to visit Annie’s Book Stop in Raynham, MA! This store has been in town since the early 80s, but it feels brand new. For that, you can largely thank the new owners: two moms who live…

Heir of Prophecy by Analeigh Sbrana
I’ve enjoyed Analeigh Sbrana’s books a lot before. Last summer, I read her duology Lore of the Wilds and Lore of the Tides when the latter published. In this new romantasy, readers get a taste of magical academia with some actual diversity. It includes fae,…

Buzzard by Inez Ray
Left Unread is a small but mighty publishing imprint that specifically promotes BIPOC authors and platforms marginalized voices. Every book I have read from them so far has been absolutely phenomenal. Their next title is called Buzzard. It publishes next month, and I was very…

The Outer Limits – Waltham, MA
While my partner is working out of state, my sister and I paid a visit to The Outer Limits in Waltham, MA! During this project, I’ve often been asked what constitutes an independent bookstore. I don’t always have a perfect answer, but The Outer Limits…

KOBRA by Cris G. Wells
I’ve really enjoyed the bookish opportunities I’ve gotten through The Nerd Fam. They’ve put a lot of phenomenal ARCs in my hands since I’ve started reading them. When they started their monthly Early Reads Book Club, of course I had to sign up. Last month,…

Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher
The very first time I read a T. Kingfisher book, I knew I wanted to read all of them. Now, any time I see a title from her that I don’t already have on my shelf, I grab it instantly. Nine Goblins is actually her…

Commonwealth Books – Boston, MA
While my partner is working out of state, I dragged my sister with me instead to Commonwealth Books in Boston, MA! It’s been in business in the area for roughly 30 years all told, and it has an amazing collection full of history far older…
