Saturday staff pick with Katrina!

The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson follows Neema, a brilliant scholar who is meticulous about history and following the rules of the realm. After a mysterious murder takes place, Neema is tasked with clearing her name, something quite difficult with her social awkwardness and unique Commoner background. A twisting plot of intrigue with a refreshingly deep character plus a lover-turned-enemy relationship adds a beat of romance. Raven Scholar continues to surprise at every turn, and I look forward to book two, Fox in Winter, with great anticipation.

Saturday staff pick with Devin!

Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl

Not only is this a beautiful story about food and self identity, this is also one of my mom’s favorite books! You will feel like you’re right there with her, trying all the foods of New York! Her Sort of Thai Noodles recipe is a childhood favorite of mine.
