We'll be closed this Friday in honor of Juneteenth. While we reflect on the meaning of this day and the ongoing work to get everybody free, we'd love for you to check out some local Black-owned bookstores, like Build Coffee & Books, Call & Response, Da Book Joint, Honey & Hue, and Zora's Place. Please tell us about your favorites--here or elsewhere--in comments!

We'll have more copies of The Favorites in store as soon as UPS gets here (😠IYKYK).
