Looking forward to some late nights since this arrived today. @univnebpress.bsky.social never disappoints.

Spent some time on the trails this morning with my eldest daughter. It was great to connect with her, nature, and my own thoughts for a few hours.

This book is breaking me. Incredible in its narrative design and language.

I’m excited to finally get to Shann Ray’s novel WHERE BLACKBIRDS FLY. This book has patiently waited on my shelf for me. Everything I’ve read about it suggests that it is going to be a superb read. Published by @univnebpress.bsky.social.

Thank you @sophieklahr.bsky.social for your words and images. This collection of poems invites the reader to be part of a journey that neither begins nor ends and just is as the miles of road pass by. Truly beautiful. Published by @univnebpress.bsky.social.

I’m learning a lot about myself while reading this memoir. At some point, I may share these revelations…

Absolutely incredible photographs collected herein. And what an enjoyable read this was.

This offering from @crobertcargill.bsky.social is absolutely fantastic. This just might be my favorite story I’ve read in the book so far.

Spectacular story, @gabino.bsky.social! There’s just one haunting question: what did she walk towards? This is going to live in my head rent free for a bit…

@skrutskie.com excellent story! I never really gave any thought to the men and women who worked the ion cannon.

GW @gwoltjer.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

@markdoesstuff.bsky.social this was a fun read…especially since Father’s Day is tomorrow. I think I’d probably act the same way in order to find my wife & children.

GW @gwoltjer.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

A huge congratulations to @univnebpress.bsky.social for the upcoming publications of so many incredible titles! There are easily 30 titles included in this catalog that I want to read. Outstanding, @univnebpress.bsky.social!

Finished this today. Not sure how I missed it three decades and change ago…but I found it for a $1.00 at a book sale. It was an enjoyable read that really makes me want to read Jeff Pearlman’s bio of Bo. Bo might be the biggest “what if” in sports had he stayed healthy.

We’re almost done…. Coming to our community soon.

I’ve read a good share of @rboomhower.bsky.social’s biographies over the years. This one might be my favorite (and I’m not even close to being done with it.) The story of Jim Jontz is both fascinating & inspiring. I absolutely love it when a #biography takes hold of me.

I have selected the first batch of what I call my “front porch” reads. I usually try to spend an hour or so every day in the spring, summer, & fall (weather permitting) with a book & a beverage or two. Baseball, mining history, memoir, biography, & translated poetry. Good stuff.

Wow. Quite possibly the best work of fiction I’ll read this year. Absolutely brilliant & stunning.

📚 👍 Take a look at this #biography by @nancyhudgins.com. You’ll absolutely love it!

This #kidlit #biography about Ursula Nordstrom by @nancyhudgins.com was fantastic. I’ve made a list of all the books I want to read this summer that were mentioned in this book. Surprisingly, there were a handful that were completely new to me.

GW @gwoltjer.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

@nonsuchbook.bsky.social I think you may find this one enjoyable.

I finally came across this magnificent tome in the wild. Immediate buy. Looks like I know what I’m reading next once my current stack of books comes to completion. Of course, I’ll probably read a few pages here & there just to give myself a teaser. Published by @utexaspress.bsky.social.

GW @gwoltjer.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

This #biography by @nancyhudgins.com about Ursula Nordstrom is definitely a title added to the #WoltjerFamilyBookClub reading list. I can already imagine the conversations this book will generate amongst my daughters.

GW @gwoltjer.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

These two essays are easily the best essays I’ve read in the past year or two. Dang, it’s been a minute since I’ve encountered such an intense, emotional, & truly satisfying back-to-back reading experience.

GW @gwoltjer.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

I am absolutely adoring this #biography of Ursula Nordstrom by @nancyhudgins.com. Nordstrom was such a force for children’s literature—in so many different ways. I’m excited to share this book with my children.

Took a break from chores and went with my wife and daughter to the library’s book sale. I found some treasures. Then I treated them to some fabulous shawarma. It’s been a good day.

I came upon this book in a “free” bin. I grabbed it only because I’ve not read these stories from this legendary wordsmith. I was not expecting to find his signature in the book.
