Why subscribe?

If you made it here, you probably enjoy collecting books reading; you are probably also interested in non-fiction but want to read things that aren’t Atomic Habits, Sapiens, or the same five non-fiction books that seem to be recommended everywhere else.

Well, then you’ve made it to the right place on the internet.

I read 60+ books a year, so I hope to be your go-to source for great non-fiction reads that you won’t find everywhere else. The books you’ll find here range on topics including science, education, current affairs, history, and interesting people.

What you can expect when you subscribe:

  • 1 - 2 book review newsletters per week (every Tuesday and sometimes Thursdays) reviewing a non-fiction book.

  • 2 - 3 additional book recommendations in every newsletter that are similar in scope or style to the newsletter’s feature book.

  • Once monthly curated reading lists on special topics, like this one.

  • Once monthly post on new books added to my TBR, like this one.

All content is free to subscribers! My posts contain affiliate links that help me make a small commission on books you purchase from those links. I would greatly appreciate it if you click and buy should you feel compelled to add something new to your TBR.

Who am I?

I hold a PhD in psychology with a specialization in human evolution and development. I work in the non-profit, higher education sector where I am currently the Director of Communications at Heterodox Academy. I’ve published 50+ scholarly journal articles and chapters in my previous life as an academic, and taught psychology courses at university for six years, most recently at Utah Valley University.

When I am not reading, I enjoy running, hiking, camping, and generally exploring our beautiful earth. I’m originally from metro-Detroit, but am now a Californian living in the Bay Area with my husband and twin daughters.
