It's Our Turn to Get Recommendations

The tables have turned! This week, instead of recommending books we have read and loved, we had to read books someone else has recommended to us. These books include a melancholic read with not much happening, a thrift shop with eccentric customers, a queen who doesn't want to die, and a detective taking witness statements from ghosts. Are the Keep It Fictional librarians good at taking recommendations? Let's find out. Books mentioned on this show: At Dusk by Hwang Sok-yong, translated by Sora Kim-Russell, The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami, translated by Allison Markin Powell, The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge, and Midnight Riot (or Rivers of London in the U.K.) by Ben Aaronovitch.
