I read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab, a time-hopping fantasy with a haunting tone and angsty romance. Thanks for the recommendation Jenny!

I read Dear Girls by Ali Wong. This was my first time using Book Chat and I was really impressed! The librarian made 4 recommendations for me plus 2 bonus recommendations, and she even told me which ones would fit other Reading Challenge categories. I know we are all going to be using Book Chat this year, at the very least because we need to for this category, but I recommend it to all.

Thank you for the feedback Kristen! We're so glad you enjoyed our recommendations. I've passed your feedback on to the Book Chat team and manager. Happy reading!

I read Sh*t Actually by Lindy West. Snarky, entertaining, and fast-paced. West's movie reviews are delightful and made me laugh out loud. I even enjoyed the chapters about movies I hadn't seen. Thanks for the recommendation, Katie!

I read Ada Blackjack, and loved every bit of it. This is an amazing true story, very hard to put down. Perfect recommendation - thank you, Jenny!

I read the Winter Palace and really enjoyed the book. I had never used this service of the library before and didn't even know it existed. I'm so glad to know that I can look to librarians for recommendations and will definitely use this again in the future!

I read Monogamy by Sue Miller.
