Staff Picks for National Library : Brittany & Anonymous

 

Brittany


Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen -  This is my favorite classic. I love the wit, the slow burn romance, and the sharp social commentary. It is one I can return to again and again.

 


Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman -  A wildly entertaining, chaotic, and surprisingly suspenseful read. It is funny, fast paced, and completely over the top in the best way.

 


On Hallowed Ground The Story of Arlington National Cemetery by Robert M. Poole -  A very informative and thoughtfully written history. I learned so much, and it gave deeper meaning to a place so many people recognize but may not fully understand.


For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn - My most recent read and an absolute page turner. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.



Story of My Life by Lucy Score -  A feel good romantic comedy with great chemistry and humor. It was such a fun, uplifting read.
