  Library Reads: November 2023  

"The LibraryReads monthly Top Ten list is created by library staff across the country, who read advance copies of pre-pub adult books generously supplied by publishers.  Rather than picking "the best" of anything, LibraryReads represents collective favorites - the books library staff loved reading and cannot wait to share.  There is no selection committee or jury; the list is completely compiled via votes from the U.S. public library community."
