What are you reading? Our community book list on Access Utah

A row of books laid down so the pages are visible instead of the spines

It’s time again for us to compile another UPR community booklist. So we want to know what you’re reading. What’s on your nightstand or device right now? Is there a book that has had a big impact on you? Which books are you looking forward to reading? Perhaps you’d like to tell us a personal story connected to a favorite book. We’d love to hear about fiction, nonfiction, young adult and children’s books, anything you’re reading. One suggestion or many are welcome.

Reading suggestions come from listeners, booksellers, and UPR friend and avid reader Elaine Thatcher.
