Welcome to Library Binding

This is a literary meet ‘n’ greet in 10 pictures or less.

Yes, you read that right. Picture interviews. Short and scannable.

Here, I interview authors, teachers, booksellers, and professional readers—basically, people who have a stack of books on their nightstand that is overflowing onto the carpet and possibly under the bed.

With every post, I’ll introduce you to someone new and give you a bundle of book recommendations.

Sound like your kind of party? Then, be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a thing.

Your hostess, Michelle Watson

I’m wife to my husband of 18 years and mom to two energetic and creative little boys. When I’m not homeschooling them or functioning as VP of Homemaking, I’m doing something awesome for church, hanging with family, or playing around with yarn.

For the record, I have no fancy titles or sparkly achievements to my name, unless you count a B.A. in English and a teaching credential. But I’ve read loads of books, and Library Binding is my idea of a grand ol’ time. Plus, it’s my way of supporting writers (more on that later).

Library Binding is an offshoot of The Book Devotions, my blog and off-Substack email newsletter for bookish moms who love to read and are short on time.

Help an Author Out

Writers and authors love storytelling and using words to probe life’s depths.

What do they NOT love? Marketing and self-promotion.

One of the things I want to do with Library Binding is help authors and writers showcase their work and, in the process, fill your TBR with worthy titles.

Would you like to do an interview or nominate someone for an interview?

I want to interview anyone who is supposed to “get out there and market their book,” as well as anyone else in the book-o-sphere who’s up for a chat.

  • Authors and writers

  • Teachers

  • Librarians and booksellers

  • Editors, publishing pros, and anyone else who reads for a living

If you’re thinking, “That’s me!” then email me, and we’ll get the ball rolling.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day, and happy reading. 📖

💕 Michelle
