Hi, there!
So glad you found Off the Beaten Shelf. Here's what you'll find on this site...
Book Blog
Off the Beaten Shelf is primarily a book blog. Check out the latest posts!
If you've ever been to the midnight release of a book, waited in line for hours to meet your favorite author, and have a book buying addiction, you'll be right at home.
I believe in reading widely and diversely, so you'll find book recommendations and book nerdiness across a variety of genres and types of publishers. I read 100+ books a year and love sharing the best of them with you.
You'll also find tips to slay your reading goals and thoughtful commentary on book news and reader culture. Nerd out with me!
Author Mandy Shunnarah
That's me! In addition to book blogging, I write things you like to read. I'm mostly an essayist and occasional poet and fiction writer. The latest pieces published on the internet are shared here and updates about my forthcoming essay collection are shared on the blog. Stay tuned!

No matter how off the wall the subject or structure of your piece, and regardless of whether you're a creative or an entrepreneur (or both!)
