New book recommendations
Hey all, I am currently looking for some new book recommendations. I’m getting a bit bored with the selections at my library. I enjoy historical fiction, fantasy, and romance. Anyone have any recommendations?

If you like historical fiction, have you read The Rose Code by Kate Quinn about the British women who broke the Nazi codes during WWII? Or A Gentleman In Moscow by Amor Towles, which is going to be a TV series soon? Towles has a couple of other good ones too, one set in New York in the 20s and the other sort of on the road in the 1950s. Or any of James McBride? An interesting duo is his fictional Heaven & Earth Grocery Store set in Pottstown during the 30s and his non-fictional memoir of his mother, written with her. You can see a lot of his mother in one of the fictional characters.

Couple more I recently enjoyed: Small Miseries by Dennis Lehane, a historical detective story set against the Boston school bus protests, and In A Land With No Dogs, The Cats Learn To Bark by Jonathan Garfinkel, set in the chaos of Georgia (the country not the state) during the dissolution of the USSR.
