During the week, it can be tough to stay on top of everything. On Fridays, though, we suggest kicking back to catch up on all the delightful literary reading the internet has to offer. Don’t have the time to hunt for good reads? Never fear. We've rounded up the best bookish reading of the week for you.

We Read...

Books to enjoy with your sister and space exploration novels. Monsters don't have to frighten the young readers in your life. Yes, we have thirteen secret library apartments. No, we don't want to do the mean girls trope anymore. We're more interested in stories for the International Day of Girl. Looking for some bookish solidarity? Get your book club together over one of these discussion-worthy titles. Today is the last day for New Yorkers to register to vote. Learn how here. Guess what was on Louisa May Alcott's mind. Mona Eltahawy is one of our favorite outspoken women, and she wants to talk about vaginas. What would happen if NYC paid homage to great women in maps? It might make us as happy as these photographs of the Stonewall Inn and LGBT activists.
