Doozy of a book drop! Our team is raving over the fiction selection that takes us from Booker Prize Longlist “Switzy” by @emmanancycline to the sublime family drama of @kuangrf ‘s “Taipei Story”, from @jordan.tannahill ‘s lyrical “The Living Realm” to @eleanorgoymerwrites ‘s swoon-worthy “Ask Me What I’m Reading”. In non-fiction, “A Year of Jewish Joy” brimming with inspired recipes and traditions, has happily arrived in time for Rosh Hashanah! Happy reading to all! taken in Highland Park, Illinois by @matchmakerbookshop
