The Left Turn Newsletter & Book Club

Hi friend and welcome - my name is Hannah and I am the Founder of The Left Turn. I am a one woman show, and I've taken on this journey because it genuinely feels like it's exactly where I'm supposed to be. My Newsletter covers all things literature and the role it plays in our lives. You can find book recommendations and reviews, my own original poetry, prose, and personal essays, and cultural breakdowns of social and political topics in America and the world in general. I champion reading as being at the center of class consciousness and my goals are simple: to celebrate and encourage the love of literature, educate and learn through it, heal, grow, love and laugh through it. Our book club breaks down topics on various social systems, political ideologies, and the many issues that arise among them. We not only break these things down, we talk real world solutions - things you can do in your everyday life to make a change in yourself and your community. This space is about waking up - and one of the best ways to fully be awake, is to trust in the written word to help guide you through.

THE LEFT TURN: THE LIBRARY

i have partnered with a wonderful online bookseller called bookshop - over at bookshop, you will find any and all book neccessities. you can type in the area where you live and they will connect you with local bookstores - independent and small businesses - that you will support by ordering from them through bookshop, and the books are delivered straight to your door! they don't just have hardcopies and paperbacks - they also have ebooks and audiobooks! i am a commissioned creator with bookshop, and by using their platform you won't only be helping me, but supporting your own local bookstores in the process!you can find our full book club inventory on my bookshop storefront, plus, lots of other books that i recommend reading - and i'm always adding more, so check back often!
