Welcome to It's (mostly) About Books

Notes on reading and writing

Call it a hobby. A passion. An Obsession?

Since I was in elementary school, I have been reading, collecting, and talking about books. As a kid, my favorite people were my English teachers the school librarians.

Hope you’ll stop in often

With this Substack, I’m hoping to engage a community of people who also love books. Subscribing to these posts, I hope, will be like stopping in to your favorite bookshop to browse, talk books, and add a couple titles to your To Be Read list.

How does this Substack thing work?

For now, I’m going to experiment with posting once a week. If I can pull it off, I’d like to post on the weekends — maybe Sunday evening. There will likely be a range of topics — everything from lists of books I’ve found recently in used books stores to comments about writers I’d like to meet for coffee. As things progress, there will likely be some subscription options. But for now, I say let’s set the paid subscription concept aside to see how this grows.
