Beyond the Shelves: Picks of the Zodiac

On the newest episode of the DMPL Podcast, Jes and Sarah give book recommendations for each sign of the zodiac. It's a nice warm-up for the next big Flash Recommendation event, coming up on Wednesday, October 16. What is Flash Recommendations? It's an event on our social media pages where you give us some information and our Book Chat team gives you a book recommendation. On October 16, head over to our Facebook or Instagram page and let us know a genre and your Zodiac sign. Then you'll get a book rec. It's that simple! Be sure to listen to this episode of the podcast to get some general recs as well. Don't forget about the last event in our Fall Author Series - Daniel Kraus will be stopping at the Central Library on Wednesday, October 23, at 7 PM.   What We're Reading Jes The Really Dead Wives of New Jersey, by Astrid Dahl Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, by Elena Ferrante The Husbands, by Holly Gramazio Sarah City of Brass, by S.A.
