In a quaran-time where Friday has lost all meaning, there's still things to celebrate: Juneteenth and books! I don't have any real plants, but I do have these plants that I embroidered, which are my green for @jennastopreading's #showmeyourgreen challenge to win some #blackoutbestsellerlist books! I know a lot of popular front list and new release titles are sold out at the moment (which is phenomenal), so I tried to pick some backlist books that might not be on your radar. There are some I've loved (Year of Yes, Kindred, A Lesson Before Dying), some I'm thrilled to be reading with my book club (Men We Reaped, Parable of the Sower), and some that have been on my TBR for far too long (Bad Feminist, Just Mercy). If you want to join in, you gotta hustle - it ends today at noon EST! via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CBnnYOrAtdy/
