Read Article Top Picks At BookBrowse, we only feature around 20 hardcovers per month in our e-zines, so we're able to produce and curate a wealth of content for each highly recommended title, including a summary, review, media reviews, "beyond the book" article, read-alikes, and often a discussion guide and/or author interview. Patrons and staff of subscribing libraries can view this content for all books at any time, while anyone can access our Top Picks, a constantly rotating selection of recent books. View Today's Top Picks Current Top Pick: Women's Hotel by Daniel M. Lavery The novel unfolds in a somewhat meandering manner, like a slice-of-life series of scenes rather than a tightly plotted story. But what seems like a casual recounting of disparate events aligns into a deceptively complete and carefully crafted narrative. The most winning quality of Women's Hotel is Lavery's humor, particularly as it manifests in satirical commentary on a time before second-wave feminism and other liberation struggles really took root in the collective consciousness. View Content for Women's Hotel The Future Cebo Campbell's novel Sky Full of Elephants, featured in a recent e-zine, is one of over 100 recommended books in our Future category.
