WORD Bookstores Books of the Week - August 13, 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.
You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)
by Felicia Day
A memoir/how-to hybrid on being you despite internal or external interference.
Bright Lines
by Tanwi Nandini Islam
Described by The Washington Post as a Brooklyn-by-way-of-Bangladesh Royal Tenenbaums, Tanwi Nandini Islam explores the wandering home that is the search for home.
The Good Little Book
by Kyo Maclear and Marion Arbona
The story of a young accidental intellectual.
Have a Little Pun
by Frida Clements
An irresistible, beautifully illustrated ode to wordplay.
