My blog is about the books I'm reading, the independent bookstores I visit, the author and book events I attend, and any bookish related things I come across in the months and years to come!

Bookish Quote of the Day!!
“[I]t’s not just the books under
fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books
that will never be read. And all due to the fear of censorship. As always,
young readers will be the real losers.” Judy Blume
How true is that! I loved trying to read books I wasn't allowed to read... and now, there's no stopping me.
And I try to get my niece to read books that are banned books; explaining to her why they were banned so she knows there's no such word as 'no' in literature, only fear.
