![]() ![]() ![]() After being convinced by fellow Herrick librarian, Annaka, I plunged head first into what has now quickly become one of my favorite authors that I have read recently! The first is The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson, a book that was originally published back in 2006, that I have almost picked up on several occasions but have never made the jump into the realm of Sanderson’s books. So here are a few of the books, in no particular order, that were suggested reads for me that turned into some of my best reads of 2022. And for someone who usually spends a lot of time making recommendations, I have found out how much fun it is to be the person getting a recommendation. The second question I usually get is “well, have you read (insert any book title here)?” Now this question, while related to the first question I am used to getting, is dramatically different, because now, the shoe is on the other foot. There is a myriad of ways these conversations go and can either extend the conversation as this person and I find out we have similar book interests or it can be slowed as someone might not be up for an in depth book conversation. ![]() The first normally goes something like “what is your favorite book” or “can you recommend something for me to read?” I love these types of questions because it lets me have an opportunity to tout recent books that I have liked or to recommend something that they might like based on a person’s interests after I ask a few follow up questions. ![]() More often than not, when I tell someone I am a librarian, I get asked one of two questions. ![]()
