Rachel Recommends: 2019 Spring Edition
Posted on April 23, 2019

Emulating my fantasy next door neighbor Oprah, I plan to share some of my favorite things in this series. Unlike Oprah I will not be promoting $134 caftans.
Instead, I will focus on my favorite items that can be borrowed from the Library. I do, however, aspire to wear a caftan-exclusive wardrobe one day. #goals
The following are media that I have recently consumed and can highly recommend:
Movies, Books, Magazines and More
The Library Has It All
The IntouchablesThis movie was lovely and quite funny. It is based on a true and remarkable story about a man who is a quadriplegic and the deep friendship that develops with his caretaker. Don’t fear the subtitles! | |
The Bully PulpitI spent most of last fall listening to the smooth vocals of the late Edward Herrmann read me this epic of a book. |
|
|
Bon AppetitI’ll admit that I do not personally get this magazine at the Library. I have my own subscription because I like to tear out recipes and occasionally spill things on the pages. We frown upon that. |
The Wolf, The Duck & The MouseI won’t spoil it. Please just request this book from your favorite branch and read it (small child need not be present). |

Virgil WanderI adore books about quirky characters in small-town settings. I know that can sometimes be synonymous with fluff, but don’t judge too soon! I require excellent dialogue and beautiful prose. This story has both. Some of the most perfect sentences I’ve ever read are in this book. |
Shortest Way HomeI spent some time in South Bend last summer being very pleasantly surprised by the vibrant city, fantastic food and well-appointed accommodations. |
