We’re compiling another UPR Community Booklist and we want to know what you’re reading. What’s on your nightstand or device right now? What is the best book you’ve read so far this year? Which books are you suggesting to friends and family? We’d love to hear about any book you’re reading, including in the young adult & children’s categories. One suggestion or many are welcome.
Continue the conversation by emailing upraccess@gmail.com We’ll also get reading suggestions from Catherine Weller with Weller Book Works, Anne Holman of The King’s English Book Shop and Andy Nettell from Back of Beyond Books in Moab. UPR friend and avid reader Elaine Thatcher will join us in studio for the hour.
