Park Road Books Staff Book Picks – December 2018

In this episode number 13, we sit down with the staff at Park Road Books to hear their book picks for the 2018 holiday season. We start with Sally Brewster, owner of the store, and then chat with James Brewster, Megan Minard, Shauna Sinyard and Sherri Smith. The store dog, Yola, also has a book pick for the pet friendly reader.

It’s often said that variety is the spice in life. It’s true in books, too. And we get a variety of tastes and the suggestions that go with them with the book-minded folks at Park Road Books.

Here are the picks by staff member, with titles and authors included. Enjoy!
