Thanks to you all who came out this past weekend for some small business lovin’! You keep our batteries charged and the books happy. ❤️📚
Great piece today on Solvej Balle, author of my (and a lot of your) 2025 literary obsession, the 7-part Danish novel On the Calculation of Volume. I actually finished Volume IV this afternoon (an advanced copy, sorry!) and it of course has a HUGE bombshell cliffhanger! And then I read in the article that’s she’s NOT DONE WRITING THEM YET! Which fills me with a great deal of George RR Martin Dread. But damn, they’re so good!
