Communities need used-book shops.

As the trends in our world are increasingly standardized and entrenched by "predictive" technologies that stifle innovation and reduce human actions into economic categories...

We need a full range of possibilities for readers and communities to explore and share.
On the left, a narrow, glass-fronted display case with a mix of letterpress, hand-bound, antiquarian, and collectors' books; stretching off to the right, 8-foot bookcases laden with literary and contemporary commercial fiction, about one thousand books out of the 6-7 thousand in that section. LED lighting and light-colored wood cases and flooring keep the room feeling relatively spacious despite the sheer quantity of books.

Thinking of gifting your loved ones a book or two this Christmas? I read through the reviews of ROTTING TREES to figure out if the audience I thought I was writing for is the same audience who are reading it: wp.me/pGREj-4Ub

Sometimes people ask me who ROTTING TREES is for. I went through reviews to find out:

francescasthoughts.com/2025/11/18/r...

#BookSky #BookReviews #BookBlog
white on green text reading 'A Buyer’s Guide to Rotting Trees according to reviewers' white on green text reading 'teens and young adults after a coming-of-age story ft. a realistic teen “Ariel is a great protagonist. Her thoughts, feelings and actions feel realistic for a teenage girl, and I really loved witnessing her character development as the story progressed.” “I appreciate how Ariel reacted to certain situations, it felt realistic for how a 15/16 year old would act, and only added to her character and my enjoyment of the novel.” disclaimer: there are 2 more books in the series for Ariel to grow up in, give her a minute, she’s kind of stressed' white on green text reading 'people who want to read more but god where does the time go “I was hooked after the first couple of chapters.” “The plot kept me entertained from the start.” “A very easily readable book.” “I was invested the whole way through.” it’s not that long if you’re worried about your attention span'

Akseli Gallen-Kallela and his family spent the summer of 1905 by Lake Keitele in Konginkangas, in Middle Finland. The far looming island can be seen as one variation from the theme 'island of dreams,' a familiar subject in the history of art.
