Episode 915: A book featuring a parallel reality

Reading with Libraries Podcast

This is our final episode of the season! It’s been so great reading with you for the last few months. Don’t worry - we aren’t leaving you. We’ll 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.

This week we are exploring a fun genre: books with a parallel reality! It’s 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’ll never know for sure, but it’s endlessly fascinating to read people’s ideas about some possibilities.
