52 Seasons

Welcome to the 52 Seasons Bookshop on Bookshop.org! Reading helps us explore our world, learn something new to share with others, hear new voices in our global community, and read the stories that shape us all and bring connection. I love books that help children and adults feel seen, celebrated, and understood. Enjoy your search through my booklists for a book that speaks to you. Take time to curl up with your new book in your favorite reading chair or share a book with someone in your life who could use the magic that only a well written story can bring. 

 

Be sure to check out my blog, 52 Seasons, for incorporating the seasons into your life and your reading life. My favorite bookstores near my hometown are BookPeople, Recycled Reads, Black Pearl Books, and Lark & Owl Booksellers.
