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...

All about an Instagram poet and  whisical middle grade books to celebrate the birthday of The Little Prince. Why it can be preferable to read on paper. Just think of this as a 19th century re-Tweet. There are over 100 new spring staff picks. You'll enjoy poetry in a whole new way if you read these poems out loud. What is the new epidemic going to be? Cholera may give us a clue. Tavis Smiley on Maya Angelou is music to our ears. How many of these bestsellers from around the world have you read? Kate Chopin's short stories are a great way to dive into her work.
