Get a novel suggestion by readers, for readers


Have you ever read a book that had you questioning if the author's editor was their doting mother? How about one that leaves you thinking, "Why is this popular?!" Yeah, us too. 

Life is so busy, and the summer reading season is just so short, so it hurts just that much more when you invest time reading something that just isn't that good. We have a fix for that: Tent Talks!

Read any good books lately? Check out a chair from our Library of Things and gather under the tent to chat about books - the good, the bad, and the meh!

Join Weston Librarians and other readers for an informal book discussion on the front lawn from 10-11 AM on July 22 and August 19. We'll share what we've been reading and we want to hear YOUR picks too - for the beach, the lake, or just inside in AC.

Our first Tent Talks yielded some awesome suggestions! So much so that we made a webpage to make sure we will always have a record for future reading! See what we talked about last time at https://www.westonma.gov/1785/Tent-Talks-books-suggestions

Looking for a list of the total duds? You won't find us spilling the tea on the internet, so you'll have to join us live and in-person to throw shade in the shade! In the meantime, here are a few of the picks we super-loved:
