[aisle] Faculty Book Club ideas

[Heather Johnson]

Good morning (and happy back to school for those of you already in session)!

We had amazing success with the following books for our staff book clubs:

*Ready Player One* by Ernest Cline
*The 57 Bus* by Dashka Slater
*Radium Girls* by Kate Moore (especially those of you who live near Ottawa,
IL)
*Scythe* by Neal Shusterman (and the third book in the trilogy comes out
November 5!)

Happy reading!
