Self-Indulgent Librarian Reads

Most librarians need to read for work, so we can recommend titles to anyone who's curious. And it can be lovely! But sometimes we just choose what we're in the mood to read, with no one else's taste in mind. Here's a mix of some of my favorite books I've read over the years, mostly just for me.
