I keep a small newsletter that I try to send out at least once a month. This newsletter, which usually includes short updates on how life is going, and the things I’ve been reading and writing, went untouched for five months, which is not extraordinary for a year like 2020. While finally preparing a newsletter

Pen America has released longlists for their variety of literary awards. There are some expected choices and a few surprises, too.

I am a Christian writing about books to teach you about Judaism. This is important. You see, just as it is not the responsibility of people of color to teach white people about racism or for queer people to educate the straights, it is not on Jewish people to enlighten us Christians.

More and more authors have been creating and publishing tarot and oracle card decks.

When I think of positivity, I am thinking of how to adopt and maintain a constructive attitude. I am not thinking about pretending the world is fine. And at any rate, few people think all is well now so there’s probably little danger of that. However, this list of the best positive thinking books isn’t

One of the best gifts we were given in recent memory was a Reader-in-Chief with former President Barack Obama. And we’re in luck each and every time he shares what he’s reading. This week, Obama shared his favorite reads of 2020 and it’s an incredible mix of new books, old books, and a wide range

I’ve had a lot of time to think lately. Like many of you, I’m not a huge fan of too much mental downtime, though I would love if my brain would let me spend a little more time sleeping. I’m surviving, though, in part by deep diving into old manga, in part by changing careers (somepony just

As we enter what’s sure to be a long, uncertain winter, we are also entering a time that I like to call “long night, long book” time: the time of year when I am mysteriously drawn to long, twisting historical fiction sagas or classics, when I’m ready and excited to dive into a narrative that

I haven’t read a book in almost two months. Usually by this point in the year, I have surpassed my reading goal by 10–20 books.  This year, I will be ending the year 30 books behind my annual goal. It’s fine. I’m fine. Along with reading, I have found it difficult to concentrate on scripted television,

On Monday morning, Netflix dropped the first official full length trailer for Bridgerton, the new series based on the Julia Quinn romance book series and adapted by Chris Van Dusen and Shonda Rhimes. As the first series in Rhimes’s producing deal with Netflix and one of the biggest adaptations of a romance novel, fans from

I will always lean toward a mesmerizing ghost story. Provocative and reflective, emotional and intimate. And the eerier, the better (ghosts kind of fit that bill, of course). So when I finally sat down to watch The Haunting of Bly Manor (the follow-up to The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix), I realized quickly that

Since Hillbilly Elegy came out in 2016, I’ve experienced countless people claiming to now “understand” where I come from and what Appalachian people are like. But they don’t think of my childhood watching my dad lose himself while arranging music on his piano or my grandfather tenderly nurturing plants in his ridiculously large garden. Instead,

As a high school English teacher, the quest to keep my curriculum relevant to my students is ongoing.

This has been a reading year like no other. For some people, it meant reading more than ever before, while for others, concentrating on a book has been almost impossible. I’ve had to face the sad truth that even if my library is closed and I am unemployed for weeks at a time, I somehow

We’ve seen the best of lists, including Amazon’s best of 2020 and The New York Times best of 2020. Those lists, determined by editors, don’t necessarily showcase what it is customers or readers were picking up this year — and while the Goodreads Choice Awards certainly give insight into what readers want to see the

Reading was one of my first true loves. I can’t really remember a time when I wasn’t reading. Some of my earliest memories involve curling up with my parents and “reading” to them from my favorite children’s books that I had memorized from repeated retellings. My relatives were always impressed by my dedication to reading,
