Photo shows a woman standing on a subway platform reading a book. The text says, “Nearly half of Americans didn’t read a single book last year.”

I find it hard to be lonely when I’m lost in a book. Maybe the loneliness epidemic could be solved by reading more books.

Take your friends to the library. Get them a library card. Encourage them to read a book.

Thank yooo

Also LOTS of small indie presses ship! And some places (in Canada) have prov orgs you can get books from - just as an example, here Sask Books is all SK authors (fiction, non, poetry, kids, everything!!) and we have Pete’s Press in Regina @petespress.bsky.social with cool books.

Holding my copy of HopeStreet - four skyscrapers taper upwards into a cloudy dark blue sky. Title is in a gold rounded font. Just my hands and torso are visible and I'm wearing a grey hoodie.

It's here it's here it's here and I'm so excited!!!!

Wanna escape your mess of a life while looking like you have it all together?

Wanna stave off people without coming across as rude?

Try reading a book in public! 📖
