On Not Giving Up More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out of the crabapple tree, more than the neighbor’s almost obscene display of cherry limbs shoving their cotton candy-colored blossoms to the slate... sky of Spring rains, it’s the greening of the trees that really gets to me. When all the shock of white and taffy, the world’s baubles and trinkets, leave the pavement strewn with the confetti of aftermath, the leaves come. Patient, plodding, a green skin growing over whatever winter did to us, a return to the strange idea of continuous living despite the mess of us, the hurt, the empty. Fine then, I’ll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf unfurling like a fist to an open palm, I’ll take it all. Ada Limon #earthday #spring See more

For some reason this book really spoke to her.

RIP John le Carre.

On Thursday night we held a socially distanced outdoor launch for Stephanie LaCava and her debut novel, The Superrationals, and it was magical.

Dear New York, Our stores are hurting. Sales remain down over 50 percent, and we need more customers to keep this bookselling gig going. Please, come back to our stores. If you are worried about lines or crowding, come early in the day or order online or by phone for pickup in stores or curbside. We are open 11:30-7. We have so many books, we have wonderful booksellers, the only thing we need is for you to come back. #BoxedOut #ShopIndie
