The act of writing always creates something of value. When I'm reading, it is the various manifestations of that inherent and powerful value that I'm looking to capture and share with my fellow book lovers.
From humble days as a bookseller in Colorado, I now live in NYC and work for one of the big publishing houses. I'm always reading a huge variety of books, but you're bound to find more reviews on titles that might not be on every bookstore's shelf quite yet!
And I must also say that it is immensely important to support independent bookstores. Definitely consider shopping with your local bookshop if you don't already!

Hey, Booklikes-ers!
I'm writing a thesis about transmedia narratives- a kind of reading and writing I find super exciting. Thesis writing it taking up a lot of my time and is obstructing my pleasure-reading, but if any of you are interested, I'm documenting the process with videos and tweets.
