    Have you already gotten through the first round of your self-isolation reading list? Are you trying to decide what book to read next? The Literary Hub staff has got your back—not to mention a lot of strong opinions about literature.

    On Twitter, we offered to recommend some books to you based on the books you already loved—but we’ve gotten so many requests we’ve decided to turn it into a regular column for everyone to enjoy and use in the weeks ahead.

    So if you’re looking for something new to read in this time of self-isolation, write to bookrecs@lithub.com with three books you love (or honestly, three of anything you love, get creative) and the Literary Hub staff will put our heads together (digitally) and recommend a book for you to read next. (We’ll answer as many requests as we can!)

    Next step: read said book and tell us if we were right. Your local indie bookstore will definitely appreciate the business. Odds are, they ship, or take orders via phone.
