After 7 amazing years, I’ve said good bye to the Arlington Public Library. Thank you for the time you let me spend with you ❤️

#BigBookPodcast reader Kristen said "One sign of a good book to me is how much I remember and still think about months later, and this was one of those books."
Listen to An American Tragedy pt.3 to find out whether we agreed!

This one puts the BIG in #BigBookPodcast... For the next 3 episodes we're reading "An American Tragedy," based on the 1906 death of a young woman named Grace Brown, and the trial of her boyfriend for murder. (The 1925 novel has just been republished.)

This month on the #BigBookPodcast we deep-dived into "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. We were impressed with how it holds up as a psychological thriller. But even for a 1930s book about bad people, it has a lot of racism & sexism.

Have you read the classic western "True Grit" by Charles Portis? Our #BigBookPodcast hosts not only loved it, they thought it was hilarious, and Megan is planning to read more westerns after this.
Book Club FTW!

To quote @aplstacks "Goodbye King Arthur, this book is finally done..." 🎶
(I finished editing "The Candle in the Wind," the final #BigBookClub episode of The Once and Future King late enough on Friday that it didn't drop until Saturday morning.)

On this week's episode of the #BigBookPodcast we explored what makes "Rebecca" by Daphne du Maurier, such a classic example of gothic horror.

Have you read "Dune" and want to talk about it? Maybe you don't want to read it, but want to know what everyone else is talking about? This month #BigBookPodcast takes on the first book in Frank Herbert’s epic Sci-Fi series - part 1 drops today:

Having a hard time talking about current events with the young people in your life?
Books are a great way to help kids and teens see themselves in the world, and to initiate conversations about racism:

Started this book over lunch. I’ve been leaning hard into romance titles, but felt like I wanted something a little creepier today. #aplreads

[Megan the Librarian @APLMegan]

@APL_Janelle Oooh, yes please
