Tara's Top Quarantine Picks of 2020

In the need for a new to you book recommendation? Here’s a list of my top 10 reads from my 2020 quarantine!


Being quarantined with my 8 yr old daughter also gave me a chance to read a ton of amazing kids books so there will be a second list of easy readers with a few chapter books tossed in. All of the books listed are available to place on hold via www.gapines.org. Questions? Check out our website: www.azalealibraries.org


If you need more recommendations, start logging your books on our app Beanstack! It can be found on our website! When books are logged, not only do you get emails weekly with suggestions, clicking on the suggestion takes you straight to pines to place it on hold! Super simple! Beanstack is the same app we used over the summer of 2020 for our Summer Reading Program and are continuing to use for reading challenges!
