Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers. #Booksky 💙📚

As uncertain as the times must feel for you, imagine the kids who are impacted by stripped funding, book bans, & hostile realities that are becoming more & more difficult to shield them from. Books offer an escape. Help us stretch our mission to its max by bidding here: bit.ly/lkbfauction25
