AI ADULT BOOK CLUB – THE READING LIST BY SARA NISHA ADAMS

Join us for a special book club featuring the 2024 St. Johns Reads selection – The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. See what others are saying about it:

“A quietly beautiful novel about the magic of books and the joy of human connection.” — Newsweek

“Thoughtful and heartwarming… An absolute delight to read, it will be catnip to book groups craving a story to remind them why we read and how very important libraries and book shops are.” — Library Journal (starred review)

“A lovely story about how a love of reading can transport us to other worlds and also bring us together.”  — Toronto Star

“This moving debut demonstrates the power of novels to provide comfort in the face of devastating loss and loneliness, with relatable characters and a heartwarming tone throughout. Readers who enjoyed Gabrielle Zevin’s The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and Nina George’s The Little Paris Bookshop will find themselves drawn in by this book.” — Booklist
