Happy Endings!
We all love them, don't we? And yet we can't help but notice that so many books are depressing. Reading groups seem to love a good depressing read. Here at the Library we are challenging ourselves to come up with a list of recommendations that will all be upbeat reads with happy endings. I think this is a great idea, particularly for the New Year ahead: a way to start off on the right (literary) foot, so to speak.
So look forward to our usual Holiday list of recommendations in December. That list will reflect all that is new in holiday and winter fiction, with other good (non-holiday) books as well. Then await our upbeat list for January, our gift to you for the New Year. And please let us know if you have suggestions for us. You may post them here or tell anyone at the Reference desk. Thanks and Happy Reading!
