These are some recent gems we obtained from a mobile book truck that comes to our neighborhood every Tuesday. Literacy is such a great cause to promote and I'm grateful for the introduction to reading that the book truck offers. It is always so exciting to watch people try to decide which one to bring home. It's almost like choosing a puppy. With everything going on in the world, this initiative by @houseofspeakeasy is sparking so much joy and opening up the door to life long reading. Little things like this remind me that I should never take for granted that being able to buy books is a privilege. QOTD: What free literacy/reading opportunities exist in your part of town? 📙Heavy: In this powerful and provocative memoir, genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon explores what the weight of a lifetime of secrets, lies, and deception does to a black body, a black family, and a nation teetering on the brink of moral collapse. 📕The Outsiders: 50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging. 📗The Kiss Quotient: A heartwarming and refreshing debut novel that proves one thing: there's not enough data in the world to predict what will make your heart tick. #houseofspeakeasy #booktruckfinds #readingisagift #readingislife #books #bookstagram #bookworm #bookish #bookdragon #fallvibes #falldecor #booksbooksbooks #bibliophile #promoteliteracy #pumpkins #shells #heavy #kieselaymon #theoutsiders #thekissquotient #helenhoang #read #memoir #yafiction #romanticomedy (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CG_JfbTA0cP/?igshid=19rcsgaovhlfk
