Anya via IG was looking for “Historical Fiction with an engaging story and characters ("I’ve enjoyed Kristin Hannah).” Our three booksellers, Kari, Jack and Emma, started with the query: Are you sure you have read everything Kristin Hannah has written? They then took off, recommending books such as Lessons in Chemistry, by Bonnie Garmus, Sharks in the Time of Saviors: A Novel, by Kawai Strong Washburn, Wide Sargasso Sea, by Jean Rhys and The Grand Sophy, by Georgette Heyer among many others.

October Community Video Prompt: TIMELAPSE | |
|
"TUK TUK Timelapse" – A lens on my family's final meal together at the new Tuk Tuk Thai location West Lebanon before beginning their Yom Kippur fast at sundown. Shared by Samantha Davidson Green 10/4/22
In the wise words of Ferris Bueller, "“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” JAM invites you to play with that TIMELAPSE feature on your smartphone to capture some of the transient beauty of our season, the every day activities that make the fabric of life, stillness in movement, etc.
We'd love you to share YOUR timelapse videos on-air and in next week's newsletter. Email: nick@uvjam.org
