Bookstores Are Fighting Book Bans (opens the original)

September 23, 2026*Pauses audiobook*Fall is officially here for us readers in the Northern Hemisphere, bringing to mind cozy days spent wrapped under a blanket, a mug of steaming tea in one hand, a book in the other. As I’m writing this, I’m watching the first rain of the season fall outside my window.

September 2, 2026*Pauses audiobook*There are many different ways to browse an independent bookstore.

July 22, 2026*Pauses audiobook*I’m an avid audiobook reader for many reasons. They allow me to fit more reading into my everyday life, help me branch into new genres, and are a great way to meet new people (I love a good audiobook walk meetup!). But one of the coolest parts about audiobooks, in my opinion, is the production that goes into them…which also happens to be something a lot of people don’t know about!Just like with any TV show, movie, podcast, you name it, audiobooks require a producti
