All Blogs

Since 2006, I have been blogging about three things: books, publishing and Birmingham. As fast as things change these days, I think it’s a great time to be keeping a book blog, tracking new books, and reading about the quickly evolving publishing industry. I am fortunate enough to work in book publishing (nature & travel) and love the constant weaving of all the newness into all the oldness.

Lacking any semblance of normalcy and stability from birth onward, Amanda Quraishi – aka The Q – makes no sense to people who require tidy explanations. Ergo, internet bios are her nemesis. Her life has been a series of improbable episodes that can only provoke cognitive dissonance in those who prefer things to be easily defined. As an uneducated former cult member turned Muslim activist/digital marketing professional, she finally gave up on both religion and marketing well into her forties An anarchist, feminist and pacifist with a robust loathing for telling other grown-ass adults (who really ought to know better) what they should be doing, she rejects any attempt to make her your intellectual or moral compass. You’ll either love her or you’ll hate her, but you’ll never really understand her and that’s fine because she actually prefers it that way. Anyway, she’s a full-time writer now. Quraishi lives in Austin, Texas.

This is my personal blog; the vast majority of my posts are book reviews, and of those, a good two-thirds are genre romance novels, the rest mostly mysteries, with a few non-fiction books sprinkled in. I also occasionally review movies or tv series.

Caroline Crampton is a writer and a podcaster. She writes non-fiction books about the world and how we live in it — The Way to the Sea (2019) and A Body Made of Glass (2024).

Hello. My name is Maria Popova and The Marginalian is a record of my reading and reckoning with our search for meaning: sometimes through science and philosophy, sometimes through poetry and children’s books, always through the lens of wonder. Founded in 2006 as an email to seven friends under the outgrown name Brain Pickings and since included in the Library of Congress permanent web archive of culturally valuable materials, it remains a one-woman labor of love animated by the ultimate question that binds us all: What is all this?
