What We're Reading

Each month we’re spotlighting books to help you find your next great read.

The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

"The first book of Brandon Sanderson's highly acclaimed series The Stormlight Archive is a masterful high fantasy book with rich worldbuilding. Follow the journeys of Kalidan, Dalinar, and Shallan as they forge their paths in the magical and dangerous world of Roshar." - Derek

Place a Hold

All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata

"A slow burn romance focused on character and relationship development. I must have cried 3-4 times because I was so moved by the characters working through their issues and growing, which is something people don’t associate with romance novels." - Mindy

Place a Hold

Waiting for the Monsoon by Rod Nordland

"A war correspondent's life story written after his terminal cancer diagnosis. The stories are harrowing and show the dangers journalists face to bring us the news and the ways in which the job can tear up their personal relationships. This book had such an impact on me that I’ve been dreaming about it." - Stephnia
