It’s a new year, and there is no better time to re-commit to your goals, whether they are related to fitness, travel, or reading. If you are looking to tackle more books in 2024, but aren’t sure where to start, SCOJO New York has you covered.
For fiction lovers looking to explore New York City through prose, look no further than Toni Morrison’s incredible novel Jazz. The city is almost its own character in this soulful, spooky book. If you are looking for the right pair of readers to pair with this novel, we recommend the H Foundation Gels Original, with the perfect purple color to complement the book’s cover.
Venture out to the boroughs, and back in time, for the tender coming-o-age story A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which chronicles a young girl in an Irish-American family as she goes from childhood through adolescence, raised by flawed, but no less loved, family members. Don our Delancey St. Frame to mirror the protagonist’s studious style.
If you prefer your books to come with film or TV adaptations, then Fleishman is in Trouble is for you. This book follows a newly single father, trying to trace back the path of how his life veered off the stable route he believed it to be on. Leroy St is the perfect, sturdy frame to rely on as Fleishman discovers how little he can truly count on.
New York is known to be a literary city, and it is chock full of bookstores to support. We particularly love Greenlight Books and Books are Magic in Brooklyn, and McNally Jackson in SoHo. What are you reading this year, and which bookstores are you browsing this winter?
