Thank you for joining us on the eighth season of our book group and Reader’s advisory podcast! 

Our organization is the Central Minnesota Libraries Exchange, and we work with all types of libraries. Schools, public, academic, history centers, and more! We are here to support you and to bring you new knowledge to inform your library work. 

This season we continue to explore a wide variety of book genres and topics so you can expand your reading horizons and share more information with your library community. 

You can find our full show notes page here, with links to the books we discuss today and to the beverages we are enjoying!

This week we are continuing to look at the prompts from the PopSugar challenge. Check it out for yourself, so you can keep finding all kinds of new books for yourself and to share with your library community! Let’s check out some books with two points of view.

The books with stories told from two different perspectives can be really entertaining, because you get so much information about the events in the story from those two perspectives. No one person can know everything that happened in a story. This is especially true when the story involves people who may be hiding things from one another. You can find an increasing number of books about crimes that are told from two perspectives – one is the person who did the bad thing and one the person who is trying to uncover the truth. If this is done well, it really builds suspense, because you – as the reader – know things the investigator does not, and you have to wait to see how long it takes for them to catch up with you.
