NoveListRA Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

While not told through a group chat, Rainbow Rowell's Attachments is an offbeat, upbeat novel told partially via emails. For another option, try the unconventional Twenty-One Truths About Love About Love by Matthew Dicks, which uses lists to tell its story. #AskALibrarian https://t.co/7wnHwBFBb5

Victoria Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue takes place from the 1700s to the 2010s. A great choice for a sweeping, haunting historical fantasy with a strong female lead. #AskALibrarian https://t.co/gZMFCogCun

Dan Simmons' creepy horror novel The Abominable follows a group of climbers on Mt. Everest who find themselves pursued by someone (or something).

If you're open to graphic novels, they can be great for engaging readers. Maybe something like Nadia Shammas' thought-provoking fantasy Squire or Robin Ha's candid, bittersweet Almost American Girl. #AskALibrarian https://t.co/bPLB5rcYYO

You get some pretty flawed, complex leads in Oyinkan Braithwaite's darkly humorous, intensifying My Sister, the Serial Killer. Or you could try Ottessa Mosghfegh's sardonic My Year of the Rest and Relaxation. #AskALibrarian https://t.co/IErk9yyewM
