“This list has us rushing to the library! 20 great new books to explore. The great thing about books is that they present ideas for us, to digest, contemplate, and even debate. Let us know what you think about these and any others that should be on the list.
“Whether you’re diving into the world of food systems for the first time or looking to stay up to date on the latest research, this list has a book for every reader.” Elena Seeley, Food Tank’s Content Director (list curator).

A. J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. He lives alone, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen.
But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over–and see everything anew.”
This is definitely a book you want to read with your friends- It is too much of a treasure not to share! Netflix did a decent job on casting and screenplay as well. BUT- read the book first!
Going to the library is the adult version of the Scholastic book fair in elementary school! Remember that flimsy newsprint flyer that you took home- who else circled everything they wished for? I did it every time, even though I knew I wouldn’t be able to buy anything- a girl can dream! This week’s library haul made me feel like I won the book fair lottery! Some of these books I picked simply because I liked the way the pages felt! That’s the beauty of the library- you can borrow, read, skim or take back without ever having cracked the cover. It’s OK! Can’t wait to dig into these gems 🙂
