About Me

Molly M.
United States
Hi! I'm Molly, a bookseller at Community Books in Brooklyn and an avid reader. This started off as a blog detailing all of the strange and amazing books I read from my small local library while living in Tokyo. Although I've left Suginami City, jetted from Portland to London and have finally settled in New York, the blog lives on with book reviews, anecdotes, and whatever pops into my head. Check for updates on Mondays and Thursdays, with the occasional bonus entry. My header image is by the magnificent Tally Nourigat. You can find her at natalienourigat.com.
