What Are You Reading, Morton Grove?

Occasionally I like to post this simple question on the Library's Facebook page:

What are you reading?

Sometimes it'll get a few replies, but often the titles will start streaming in. It's always a fascinating and diverse snapshot of what Morton Grovers are reading at the moment, whether they like the book or not.

I thought it would be fun to compile the list of titles from the recent post, along with the name of the commenter. You can browse the full list on our Recommendations page—just tap on each book to learn more and place a hold.
