“Books, for me, are lifesaving. They have been my companions, my teachers, my entertainment, my emotional outlets, my escape. They’ve taught me how to cook, how to love, how to mourn, how to cope, and how to feel. They’ve allowed me to sort through my own feelings and escape into someone else’s.”
― Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature
― Bookends: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Literature
“The cracking open of a book’s spine has always been an exercise in self-discovery, healing, and fortification. That subtle whoosh when words spill out makes me salivate. Then the feel of the coarse pages under my fingertips delights my consciousness, the sudden sprinkling of syllables, the black-and-white letters in various patterns, coalescing to find their way directly to my heart. It’s magic.”

“A Note from Zibby:
Hi! Thanks so much for coming by!
I truly, truly hope that the thoughtful content my team and I produce daily helps you make the most of your (very limited!) time. I mean, if we don’t make time for what’s important, life will just pass us by in a blur of emails and to-do lists. And life is way too short for that.
So let this programming enhance your life, not take it over.
* Learn about a new book and then go read it.
* Hear from an amazing author you’ve always loved and then attend their event.
* Get some sex tips and actually try them out.
* Receive writing advice from a bestselling pro and then write the essay or book you know you have in you.
* Rethink weight loss and change what you eat or how you work out that day.
* Message with someone you meet in our grief community over your shared loss.
* Offer travel tips to someone who can use them.
* Find a product you love or a gift that will delight someone.
* Read a personal essay and feel deeply understood.
* Connect, connect, connect.
But we must find time to enjoy life, before our time runs out. So let’s outrun it while we can.
Lace up, friends. Here we go.
Warmly,
Zibby”
