Hi y’all.
Quick housekeeping note: I recently joined “BookShop.” Essentially, BookShop helps you support local bookstores with your online book purchases. I’m now an affiliate, and I’ll be posting links along with my reviews where you can purchase the books. I get a 10% commission on any sales made through my links, and independent bookstores will get a matching 10% commission. You also get a 20% discount on pretty much every purchase. You can read more about the program here.
If you prefer, you can also see if your local indie bookstore is a member, and purchase through them—that bookstore will then receive the full 30% of profits. If you’re looking for indie bookstores to support, here are a few of my favorites (who are on BookShop) in the various cities I’ve lived in: Blue Cypress in New Orleans, Topos in Queens, and Red Emma’s in Baltimore. If you don’t buy through my links, buy through theirs!
But if you do purchase through my links, rest assured commissions will fund my next book purchase (and my next review). I’ve also created curated lists of past books I’ve rec’d and my all-time-favorite books. You can find both here. And I’ll also note anytime a link you follow will lead to a commission for me :)
xoxo
