About Literary Quicksand
Hi! Welcome to Literary Quicksand. Weβre a book blog based out of Minneapolis, MN. We feature a group of women writers from multiple countries who all come together over one thing: our love of books! We regularly post book reviews, book lists, TBR roundups, and more.
Our Founder
I’m Joli Skow, and I hadΒ the idea for Literary Quicksand because I needed something to keep me honest about writing. I have an English degree, soΒ being out of college, I miss the challenge of writing about what I’m reading.Β Books are an extremely important part of my life. I love to read them, hold them, smell them, sink into them as if they were quicksand. They’re my safe place when the world is hard. It’s this passion and love for books that led to my idea for a bookish blog, written by amazing ladies who share my bookish passion.
