The Brown Bookshelf Blog Celebrates Black History... →
I featured The Brown Bookshelf’s 28 Days Later line-up of writers and artists back at the end of January. I’ve headed back there a few times this month and have been introduced to a bunch of folks I hadn’t known before.  If your looking for some new books to check out, do yourself a favor and pop by there yourself.

Salon reviews The Fault in Our Stars & There is no... →
Why should you, an adult, bother with a novel intended for an audience aged 14 to 18?
