I’m a little offended to have not received a scam email from a literary agent impersonator yet.

I did not expect a Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan collaboration, but we're heard good things and have a stack of this co-written supernatural love story in stock.

"Remain," $22.50 in hardcover. Let us now if you'd like us to hold you a copy.

I don’t understand (I mean, I do) why book coverage keeps shrinking while a huge number of books are still published every week.

“Wearables” are a new way for people who don’t have to worry about what their body is doing at every moment to worry about what their body is doing at any moment.

This book was written in part to get back at Dasha Nekrasova, and I think that’s a beautiful reason for literature to exist.

A call to bookshops when setting up banned books displays. Feature alive authors who could be struggling due to this. Yes, Stephen King gets banned but he's doing ok financially. So many others are not.
