Probably 90%+ of my recommendations come in-person but I would guess the last was The Twenty-Ninth Day by Alex Messenger.

The Cruel Prince series by Holly Black - the bored cashier at Barnes & Noble
Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy - the OTHER bored cashier at Barnes & Noble
Into the Wild or Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer - an employee at Barnes & Noble
Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayd- one of my book club members
The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers - an old friend out of the blue

I’ve since read the first Cruel Prince book and the Becky Chambers book and enjoyed both, but maybe I’ll work my way through the rest.

‘James’ , a retelling of Twain’s ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’, told from Jim’s (James here) point of view.
And from my sister-in-law ,Elin Hildebran’s ‘28 Summers’, which I am reading now.

At lunch today a friend recommended The Measure by Nikki Erlick.
