Oathbringer
By: Brandon Sanderson
Recommended by Jessica R. “I just finished Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson, and I already want to read it again! It was an emotional roller coaster of a book, both exciting and heartbreaking. I can’t wait for the next one!”
Killing Floor
By: Lee Child
Recommended by Jacob. “Killing Floor is the first book of the Jack Reacher series and is a phenomenal crime novel full of action, suspense, and mystery!”
Changes: A Novel of the Dresden Files
By: Jim Butcher
Recommended by Sarah. “That title is an understatement; it could also have been called Murphy’s Law. That’s how much goes wrong.”
The Year of the Flood
By: Margaret Atwood
Recommended by Susie. “This is the second book in Atwood’s dystopian trilogy. I’m going back and forth between the print and audio book. It’s probably one of the strangest visions of the future out there.”
Magic Burns
By: Ilona Andrews
Recommended by Melissa. “I am listening to Magic Burns by Ilona Andrews. This is the second book in the series that follows Kate Daniels, a snarky, mercenary-turned-heroine, through a futuristic Atlanta where sometimes magic works and sometimes technology reigns. Kate has to battle undead creatures with the help of a werewolf and a vampire to get to the bottom of what’s going on.” *Contains explicit language
The Taste of War: World War Two and the Battle for Food
By: Lizzie Collingham
Recommended by Jonathan. “An interesting perspective on the role food played in World War II, discussing everything from strategy, politics, logistics, and technology.”
Strange Weather
By: Joe Hill
Recommended by Tom. This book is a collection of “four novellas about a Polaroid camera that erases memories, a multi-sided look at the gun debate, a solid “cloud,” and what happens when it rains nails.”
