Our Bodies our Shelves is my collection of humorous essays about library life.

It got terrific reviews, even though you’ve never heard of it.

How many terrific reviews? Thirty excellent reviews on Amazon and over 100 on Good Reads. (Were there negative reviews too? Of course. But let’s not pay attention to them.)

Other than the fact that it’s a good read, why should you buy it?

It’s a great gift.

Anyone can buy a gift copy of a bestseller that everybody wants to read, like Where The Crawdads Sing.

But it takes a very special and thoughtful gift-giver to give the gift of a good book by a totally unknown librarian.

Say your bookish friend has a birthday coming up, and you want to buy her a book she’ll love. You’re thinking of buying her Where the Crawdads Sing.

But? Chances are that at least one of her other friends has the exact same idea!

She could end up with multiple Crawdads!
