Previous Episode: Books we re-read the most.
Next Episode: Ep.5: Books we loved about captivity and survival.
We chose to go dark on this one, all except for Lauren who went with some lighter fare because sometimes you read what the book gods send your way and you don't ask any questions.
Aileen tips off the book talk with her pick, The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. Alisa cuts the line with Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Lauren brightens the mood with A Season for Second Chances by Jenni Bayliss, and Josie wraps things up with the dark and heavy, Dune, by Frank Herbert.
Lauren also gives some insight into the way libraries acquire books and muses about who decides what books are worthy for awards, and exactly how does one become invited to a dinner with the original influencers, the ALA.
