Hi, I’m Lori Shriver, a GenXer and founder of Lori’s Book Loft. I’ve been operating this book blog since 2017. Recently, I launched Past, Palette & Prose on Substack. From time to time, my mom joins me there, offering her own reflections and gentle insights on reading. And it's a space that goes beyond books.
Each Saturday, I send out a newsletter—an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and wander through quiet stories and small joys. I also share pieces of what I’ve been exploring that week, along with thoughtful recommendations for art, music, literature, and creative prompts.
I’d love for you to join us there. Most of what we share is free, and there’s always a place for you.
