I Buy Books as Souvenirs in Every City I Visit

When I travel, my souvenirs of choice are not mugs or hats, not socks or pens. No, when I’m exploring far from home, the souvenirs I bring back are books. I buy one (or two or maybe even three and, yes, sometimes four) in every city I visit. This touristy habit started three years ago, by accident, when I went to New York City for the first time. I had always wanted to go, inspired partially, of course, by the many books set there. It was, too, the first time...

The Best Fonts for Books

Until I was doing it for my real-life grown-up job, I never put much thought to the art behind typesetting. Newspapers, magazines, books—I thought they all just came that way. But there are so many decisions to be made about the best fonts for books, from the typeface itself to the type size, the space between lines, the amount of lines per page, and so much more. Where do you even begin? Book interiors are something you probably don’t think much about. Covers are the attention-grabbers. They’re the trendsetters. The...

Comics A-Z: Villains Fana to Jiro Hotta

I’ve had a lot of time to think lately. Like many of you, I’m not a huge fan of too much mental downtime, though I would love if my brain would let me spend a little more time sleeping. I’m surviving, though, in part by deep diving into old manga, in part by changing careers (somepony just submitted a nonfiction book proposal and is still waiting to hear about that horror novella), and in part by keeping up with these comics A–Z challenges. So far we’ve done emotions, the arts, heroes, and...

12 More Movies For YA Readers

It’s been a while since I last recommended movies for YA readers to enjoy, and I’ve seen quite a few more since then. Some of these are based on books, while others just feel right for fans of young adult novels. Some are movies while others are limited series. They are all about teenagers, obvs, and run the gamut from realistic to fantastical. There are significantly more women behind the camera than last time, but this list is still very heavy on dude directors, despite every single movie and series...

What is Home? 10 Books on Architecture for Non-Architects

Before the pandemic trapped me in my apartment, I liked looking at houses. I wouldn’t call it a passion for architecture by any means. In practice, it was just me absorbing HGTV from the gym TV while running on the elliptical. This turned into an obsession with scrolling through pictures of homes on Instagram. I wasn’t in the market, but I couldn’t stop looking at houses. When the gyms closed, I started running outside. That came with a harsh discovery that I had no vocabulary for architecture. In New Orleans,...
