When Julie blogged about an author event at Aaron’s her enthusiasm leapt off the screen. Her essay here mentions how the owners support the local community; they support the online community, too; [...]

You know how they say “you can’t go home again” ? Well, when it comes to the Harvard Book Store, “they” are wrong!

Serena is a published poet whose work has [...]
Have you met Margot at Joyfully Retired? She says that since she and her husband have retired she now has “the time to indulge myself in books, family, travel, food, travel or whatever.” I have to smile because even though books come first in the list, it’s clear from her blog that family is first in her [...]
