About The Author
With almost thirty years of business and legal reporting for Gannett, American City Business Journals and the Associated Press, Bookstore Geek is the lighter side of Victoria Barber Emery's writing. The persona came to life several years ago after an experience in a local bookstore and coffeeshop. ​You can read the inaugural post here.
Welcome to Bookstore Geek!
Essays & Op/Ed with a hint of bookish irreverence
Bookstore Geek writes like your smartest friend having a nervous breakdown in a library — but in a charming, funny way. She overanalyzes everything from dating apps to Dostoevsky, and she’s proud of it. Her essays are full of hot takes, footnotes, and the occasional emotional spiral triggered by a poorly organized bookshelf.
She believes life should be narrated in third person, red pens are sacred, and tote bags are emotional support animals.
Welcome to her brain. Please wipe your feet.
