Rediscovered a photo of one of the quotes on @literatibookstore.bsky.social’s wall: ‘when was the last time someone told you that you are enough?’

Due to weather, we’re closed all day today, Jan 25. Stay safe and perhaps read a great book like George Orwell’s 1984, which includes poignant and relevant quotes such as, “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

In 2016, I had the idea every year I’d take a photo of books on our tables, so over the years, I could see what we set out in the past. Since many people are posting 2016 pictures, if you had walked into Literati ten years ago, you would have seen these books.
