Clear Eyes, Full Shelves is a blog for readers.

On Clear Eyes, Full Shelves, we review books—both new releases and backlist titles, chat about our love of genre fiction, evangelize about our favorite books and authors and share our opinions about readerly issues. As of March 2013, we also produce a podcast featuring in-depth discussion of books and reader issues. 

In a nutshell, we promote the culture of reading. 

We’re also big fans of television and movies, so we sometimes talk about those things too—we’re not all books, all the time (just most of the time). 

All of us live in the Portland, Oregon metro area and belong to the same book club, so we get to go beyond the blog and hang out and talk books in person, which is incredibly fun.
