It\u2019s been so great reading with you for the last few months. Don\u2019t worry - we aren\u2019t leaving you. We\u2019ll be back with our short book suggestion podcast on Tuesday. This season we have been exploring a wide variety of book genres and topics so you can expand your reading horizons, and share more information with your library community. We are looking at the prompt from the 2022  PopSugar reading challenge this season. You can read along with their challenge, linked in our show notes, or just enjoy some different books.&amp;nbsp; This week we are exploring a fun genre: books with a parallel reality! It\u2019s always fun to think about another world where we might be richer or smarter, or where troubles that missed us may have managed to clobber us in that parallel universe. Was it part of the multiverse, where every single decision each of us makes spawns a new universe? Is it a virtual reality, where we are NPCs in a video game being played by our ancestors? We\u2019ll never know for sure, but it\u2019s endlessly fascinating to read people\u2019s ideas about some possibilities.&amp;nbsp; Check out  our show notes page for links to our beverages, our resources, and the books we share today.
