I’m in love with this concept. 📖
“Yoshiyuki Morioka decided in 2015 to open his bookstore that offers just one book per week.
Located in Ginza district, the small bookshop Morioka Shoten offers just one book (but sells multiple copies of it). Customers can either buy it or wait until the next week for a new literary option.”

One day to go! Take the plunge and submit! You can write on one, two, three or all of the themes for the anthology submission. Dust off those sharp little micros!
Send National Flash Fiction day your subs to their microfiction comp (100 words, no theme) & to our anthology (500 words, theme of air, fire, water and earth). Subs close midnight 15/2.
‘If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries.
Are they voting to fund their libraries?
Are they voting to keep them free?
Then vote for those guys.
They're probably the good guys.
And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys.’
Neil Gaiman is a fierce supporter of libraries. The author of American Gods, Neverwhere, Good Omens, The Sandman, Coraline, and so many more has had a lifelong love affair with reading. And he credits librarians for fostering his curiosity about books and learning at a young age. Gaiman spoke with I Love Libraries recently about libraries, comic books, book banning in the U.S., movies, and more.
Canadian musician Robbie Robertson has died at age 80. He was a guitarist and songwriter with The Band, lead guitarist for Bob Dylan, and a frequent collaborator with Martin Scorsese, for whom he scored films like "The Color of Money" and "The Irishman."

From @mallorynoepayne:
"Hi, good morning.
Just a reminder that Hitler led a failed coup, went to jail for it, came out to an exhilarated base, consolidated support from right-wing politicians, then walked into power.
All while the media gave him continuous coverage."
