This week we are joined by Rachel Rausch, Teen Services Librarian at the Orange Branch.
Katy and Rachel discuss a controversial topic this week... books that everyone loved that we just DID. NOT. LIKE! These are books that take the world by storm, reach the top of the best sellers list, or end up with a huge book club buzz, and sometimes we just don't get it.
Rachel does NOT recommend The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by Victoria Schwab, The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, or The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. Katy does NOT recommend My Absolute Darling by Gabriel Tallent, Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, and Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune.
Listen to what other staff members of the Delaware County District Library just didn't like, and read more about today's episode here.
