The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams
4.0
4.5 ⭐
The Reading List felt like a big, warm hug for book lovers and books alike. At once heart-warming, devastating, and shimmering with hope, it was a full-circle reading experience. Within these pages, we catch a glimpse of how books can bring people together, how they can create a sense of community among strangers. We watch the healing power of stories in the hands of those who stumbled upon them at just the right time. We also see how people can have different takeaways, different interpretations of the same book... how the unique life experiences and emotions of a reader can color the way we experience the same book.
This was a book about community and about the power of stories. It was a love letter to libraries, and it was a balm to book lovers everywhere. I can't recommend it enough.
