Amy Julia Becker Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

What’s on your summer reading list? I'd recommend The Midnight Library. It's a story about regrets and looks at questions about limitations and possibilities and who and how we want to be. @VikingBooks @matthaig1 https://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Library-Novel-Matt-Haig/dp/0525559477

The Lincoln Highway is a great novel to have by your bedside when you have a mild Covid case. I read hundreds of pages and thoroughly enjoyed this story, even as I was often also infuriated and exasperated by the characters. @amortowles https://www.amazon.com/Lincoln-Highway-Novel-Amor-Towles/dp/0735222355
