Voracious reader, book collector, and scholar Ignacio Sánchez Prado writes about how he began collecting books when growing up in Mexico, and why it was and is so important to him to develop his working library. He takes an interesting look at the future or not of such libraries and of how they relate to scholarship.

A Library on the Eve of Packing - Pittsburgh Review of Books

I hope a bibliophile like me can be forgiven to write an essay on the eve of my library being packed. Since the publication of Walter Benjamin’s 1931

^{Pittsburgh Review of Books}

What am I reading?
Nearly finished Matt Haig's 'How to Stop Time'. A bit similar to The Midnight Library, though a different story, with its flying about. Might try another of Matt's but am finding the wandering in place and time and prose a little tedious.

Next to read: 'Death Do they Part' by Jonathan Whitelaw, 3rd in the Parker Sisters' (Cosy) Mystery series. Something lighter after Matt's tome.

My own book 'A Question of Resistance' by Paul Smith, a time-slip novel is being reviewed by a book club in Northallerton & I am going to the club to answer questions and listen to their critique next week. 'Scared' doesn't do my trepidation justice!

I'm really enjoying how now my Kobo syncs with The StoryGraph, so my reading progress is automatically updated! It's a new feature which was released recently.

For those who haven't heard of StoryGraph it's a great alternative to GoodReads (owned by Amazon). If you want to know more about the platform and its creator:

Celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary This Fourth of July govbooktalk.gpo.gov/2026/07/01…

They say this is a time "to reflect on the blessings of being a beacon of hope and democratic freedom."

Oh honey, the #AmericanEmpire has not been a beacon of anything for a good while now other than #imperialism, #warfare, #invasions, and toppling governments they disliked then enabling Right Wing dictatorships.

And before any of you exceptional gringos come to whine, read a fucking book or two.

Colonial ranting aside, you can also get the documents they mention via GovInfo. Need help? Ask your local librarian.
