Reading Envy Readers discussion

I'm joined by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray to discuss their joint novel, and also decided to ask my co-workers for their favorite books on libraries and librarians. The episode finishes up with a few reading recommendations based on questions I've answered from listeners.

As always, I welcome your feedback. What are your favorite books with libraries or librarians? And what do you think of the reading recommendation bit at the end?

I recently read The Lions of Fifth Avenue which is set in New York Public Library. I also thought of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library which is aimed at middle readers, but is a fun read for all.

I read Susan Orlean's The Library Book and it was fantastic. Loved it. Very engaging for non-fiction. I have The Lions of Fifth Avenue sitting on my table just waiting for me. I'm looking forward to digging in to it. Great review on it, Elizabeth!

I have this on my shelf but haven’t read it yet.

I need to add these to my list!

Thanks Carol Ann. I hope you enjoy it.

I don't think it was mentioned on the episode so I'll add it here:

The Night Bookmobile by Audrey Niffenegger

I just stumbled into this in the library. It only took about ten minutes to read, but it made me cry!

Oh yes! I feel bad that I forgot that one!
