WORD Bookstores Books of the Week - March 18, 2015
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.
The Triumph of Seeds
by Thor Hanson
A near-comprehensive, yet brief and readable survey on the germ of all soil-based lifeforms.
Euphoria
by Lily King

The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor
by Flannery O'Connor
This new edition of the ageless collection brings all of Flannery O'Connor's stunning shorter work together under a beautiful new cover.
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity
