NYPL #FridayReads: The So Many Shoes Edition December 9, 2016

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...

Where to start with Willa Cather. Show us how much you know about Alexander Hamilton with our quiz. Do you know about the other Charles Dickens Christmas stories? Early 20th century burlesque and vaudeville, here we come! No one captured women in portraiture quite like Dorothea Lange. Harlem residents, you know Marcus Garvey Boulevard, but do you know the history of the man himself? Looking for holiday season style inspiration? Check out these images of gorgeous 19th century shoes!
