Oh yeah, that’s just Naomi Wolf’s new book on my desk, VAGINA. (It’s a biography.) I especially like the cursive font. #willskipthetag #lit #feminism (Taken with Instagram at Tumblr HQ)

We’re happy to introduce the NWK Tumblr Book Club! (We asked, and you answered!)

After consulting with our brilliant books editor, we selected 5 titles from our “Best Summer Reads of 2012” list. Now it’s up to YOU to pick which of the 5 we read first. We’ll announce your pick later this week, and let’s plan to start reading next week (July 2nd)! 

It’s happening! Get up in our book club, tumblr! You’ve got a few days to vote and tell us which book we’re reading for July. AND! Make sure to follow the NWK Book Club tumblr for updates, discussion points, questions, #readingfaces, etc.

YES! Paging Rachel F.
