The Shorewood Public Library is Looking for Best of the Year Suggestions!

 

My local library, the Shorewood Public Library, is looking for people who can contribute to their list of the best books of 2025.  If you’re so inclined, I’d appreciate it if you could please suggest Well-Behaved Children Seldom Make History or Sherlock Poems on this short form, but feel free to suggest anything you wish.  It’s a one-minute task– just fill out this form, list the name of the book, the author name, and a quick reason why you liked it, and you can choose to include your name or not, whatever you like.  Thanks!
