You know what pairs perfectly with that candle-lit bubble bath and wine you have set aside for this evening? 🥂💐 An audiobook! (Better than almost dropping our favorite books into the water. 😂😭)
So what a perfect day to announce that Homeward is now on Libro.fm! Any audiobook purchase supports us!
A white piece of scrap paper on a teal background with text that reads: Condition No's: water damage, strong smells, sticker residue, mold Rarity: Rare can be cool! It can also be hard to sell in a brick-and-mortar store unless exactly the right person wanders in. So this is very case-by-case Ex-Library: To discourage theft from our vital local libraries, we may pass on books unless clearly marked for permanent withdrawal Floor Space: We're starting off in a very small space. We'll probably pass on mass-market authors with tons of titles (looking at you, James Patterson) because we simply don't have room.
A white piece of scrap paper on a teal background with text that reads: Unsure?? Bring it in! We'd love to see what you want to share! We'll take a look and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have! We can also help point you in the direction of other local businesses even if we don't take everything! *Please still honor the limit of one box a day so we are able to look though it with care. Thank you!

A small selection of books by black authors sit on a table in front of a fountain in a sunny courtyard. The books from left to right are Maya Angelou's "The Heart of a Woman", Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower", N.K.Jemisin and Jamal Campbell's Green Lanter comic titled "Far Sector", and Nafissa Thompson-Spires' "Heads of the Colored People."
Happy Black History Month!! We’ve got new and used titles from incredible Black authors (such as these), and a new shipment of even more coming in next week! ✊🏾🖤
Though we should so EVERY month, Feb is a great time to take in history and celebrate folks who have contributed so much to our society.
Happy Birthday, Angela Davis!

We feel so strongly about access to good books, especially now more than ever. Being booksellers and helping spread literature and enlightenment makes us feel like we're part of something larger than ourselves.
We hope this will be your reaction when you see our store on Saturday!
"Soft open" means it won't be 100% how we'd like it to be -- but we hope we'll still make a good first impression!!
Saturday we'll be open from 10am until 5pm with the Small Business Saturday Pop-Up event happening from 10-3.
A black and white illustration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr next to a scrap piece of paper with a quote from him reading: “If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell.” The image is framed by burning scrap paper.
Today we'd like to share this scathing read from Dr. King and reaffirm our intention to continue striving homeward toward a better society. As Dr. King also said, "Freedom only comes through persistent revolt, through persistent agitation, through persistently rising up against the system of evil."

We only have seven days left to put the finishing touches on our little place before we get to show it off to you all!!
