This story speaks to many - it reminds us that there is never a gap too big between age, gender or culture that can't be bridged by an act of kindness and that great books bring us together. THE READING LIST is a love story about libraries and our love affair with books like this one that touch our soul. A found list of recommended classic books helps a widower reconnect with life and sparks a friendship with a teen librarian who is dealing with overwhelming family issues. By reading and discussing these books they find ways to reach out to others and cope with their own joys and sorrows. A heartbreaker and tearjerker that makes you feel uplifted as you are sniffling, this is the book that you will pass onto everyone this summer. I began forming my own list almost immediately and enjoyed the author's list at the end of the book. For fans of ELLIE AND THE HARPMAKER, ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE and THE STORIED LIFE OF A.J. FIKERY. 5 stars This review and Lake Travis Community LIbrary was featured in LIbraryReads this month.
