It's Independent Bookstore Day! Wherever you are, today is the day to support your local Indie. If you are north of Boston, MA, I hope you will stop in and see us at Whitelam Books, and join the North of Boston Book Trail and check out 18 other terrific stores!

This Earth Day, here are three of my favorite CliFi (Climate Fiction) titles: ALL THE WATER IN THE WORLD by @eirencaffall.bsky.social , WILD DARK SHORE by Charlotte McConaghy, and THE GREAT TRANSITION by Nick Fuller Googins.
