WORD Bookstores Books of the Week - November 26, 2014
In the Largehearted Word series, the staff of Brooklyn's WORD bookstore highlights several new books released this week.
WORD Bookstores are independent neighborhood bookstores in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and Jersey City, New Jersey. Our primary goal is to be whatever our communities needs us to be, which currently means carrying everything from fiction to nonfiction to absurdly cute cards and stationery. In addition, we're fiends for a good event, from the classic author reading and Q&A to potlucks and a basketball league (and anything set in a bar). If a weekly dose of WORD here isn't enough for you, follow us on Twitter: @wordbookstores.
Redefining Realness
by Janet Mock
Janet Mock's bestselling, vital memoir is now out in paperback!
Ugly Girls

Hunter's debut novel follows two high school girls and the fellow who's been pining after one of them online -- and isn't who he says he is.
Area X: The Southern Reach Trilogy
by Jeff VanderMeer
The beloved-by-WORD-staff series gets a shiny new all-in-one hardcover edition.
Clothes Clothes Clothes Music Music Music Boys Boys Boys
by Viv Albertine
This memoir from the guitarist and songwriter of The Slits is full of stories from a punk-rock life well-lived.
