Boston Bookcrawl: Tisch Library

By Emily Sullivan | April 21

Welcome to the final installment of Boston Bookcrawl! I have loved recording my bookstore expeditions and thoughts on literary spaces in the Boston area over the past year. I hope you have been able to visit some of these stops or found others I didn’t write about for your own personal bookcrawl. There is truly an amazing number of indie bookstores in this area for you to explore and support.

Boston Bookcrawl: Brattle Book Shop

By Emily Sullivan | April 1

The weather is warming up, reviving both the grass and students alike. Although it might seem like reading season is over, with fireplaces extinguished and sweaters folded up until next winter, I disagree. While perhaps not as idyllic as reading outdoors in the fall, picking up a book and taking it outside is a wonderful way to greet the spring.

Boston Bookcrawl: Porter Square Books

By Emily Sullivan | March 3

We’re back, and this time with a bookstore that is only a stone’s throw away from campus. Sharing a name with its neighborhood, our store for this week is Porter Square Books. No matter if you walk, bike, bus or MBTA, the store is less than 30 minutes away.

Boston Bookcrawl: Rodney’s Bookstore

By Emily Sullivan | February 17

In the bleak midwinter, it can be tricky to maintain one’s sanity and whimsy. As temperatures stay near freezing and snow still coats much of campus, staying indoors feels compulsory rather than cozy. Yet, settling down with a good book is my way of turning a night stuck inside into a lovely evening.

Love, hookups and dating at Tufts — oh my!

By Emily Sullivan | February 12

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and there is no doubt that love is in the air for some students here at Tufts. And there’s no better way to understand love and relationships than with a Qualtrics survey. This one was shared from Jan. 29 to Feb. 9 on social media, Slack and through personal connections, leading to a total of 69 completed responses. A quick disclaimer: The generalizability of this data is questionable, and the results are more entertaining than truly scientific. After all, who are we to try to pin down the mysterious force of love with non-validated surveys and scales?

Boston Bookcrawl: More Than Words

By Emily Sullivan | February 2

Welcome back to my bookstore review column! I hope my brief, semester-long hiatus gave you enough time to explore the last few stops on our book crawl and that you are now itching for your next bookstore recommendation. The good news is that I’ve returned to give you my keen evaluations of the various book-buying experiences that Boston offers us.

Battling book bans in Beantown and beyond

By Emily Sullivan | October 20

I consider myself to be generally aware of the state of book banning in the United States. I read about the fights going on in school districts and libraries throughout Florida, Tennessee and Texas. I was recently frustrated by the ruling on Mahmoud v. Taylor, which allows parents to opt their children out of curricula including LGBTQ+ identities. Yet, I knew nothing about bans in my home state of New York or here in Massachusetts. In my mind, book banning was an issue of ‘elsewhere.’

Boston Book Crawl: Tufts Bookstore

By Emily Sullivan | April 10

Sat next to the Mayer Campus Center is the Tufts University Barnes & Noble College branch. It may be frequently ignored by students in the months between the very start and end of the semester, but it is still technically a bookstore. Inside the building, you can find a range of items, including sweatshirts, snacks, cold medicine, textbooks, branded mugs and a few regular books.
