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…

The Vampire and his Star Weaver by Devon Atwood
I found out about The Vampire and his Star Weaver through a clever bit of independent marketing from its author. She created separate posts for each of the vampire factions in the book. Whichever one the viewer encountered first would dictate which team they were…

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher
After finishing Dhampira, the next ARC on my reading list was another vampire romance. Not wanting to get the two mixed up, I wanted a palate cleanser in between. I wanted something short with a unique voice. A novella from T. Kingfisher fit that description…

The Book Rack – Arlington, MA
This past weekend we made our way out to Arlington to visit secondhand bookstore The Book Rack! They originally opened back in 1975 over in Lexington, but have been here in Arlington center since 1999. It’s surprisingly accessible for how many nooks and crannies there…

Dhampira by Amy Pennza
I’ve teased my review for this book a couple of times already. It got an extra mention when I had to interrupt my reading and squeeze Project Hail Mary in. The gorgeous cover for Dhampira caught my attention while I was scrolling on Netgalley. Its…

Annie’s Book Stop / Tower Books – Worcester, MA
Recently we popped into Annie’s Book Stop in Worcester, also sometimes known as Tower Books. There are a few bookstores in Mass called Annie’s, and there used to be a lot more. Back in the 90s it was a chain, but the company at the…

Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Yes, this is a different book than I had announced I would cover for this review. I had said I would be reviewing Dhampira by Amy Pennza next. However, that one won’t be releasing for another couple of months. I wanted to read the book…
