Recommendations from Shorewood Library! For even more recommendations, follow our staff blog and explore our curated booklists (genres, topics, read-alikes and more).


The Miniaturist 
by Jessie Burton

Emily recommends this piece of historical fiction, set in 17th century Amsterdam. She says, "If you like a touch of magic and a captivating setting, pick this up!" (The audiobook is great.)

Kate suggests this thoroughly researched, heart-wrenching look at Milwaukee and the economic exploitation of the poor through property, legislation, and debt. "It is an extremely important work and I cannot recommend it highly enough."

 Death's End
by Cixin Liu


Eddie recommends this final book in the Three Body Trilogy, a science fiction series originally published in China and now seeing success in the global market. A movie adaptation is in the works!
