So, as I read this book, it was such fun to follow the characters as they discover the magic of reading and to gleefully recognize the signs of a bookworm-in-making. As the characters progress through the list, they find that their books give them invaluable insight to navigate through the many intricacies of life and family. In a nutshell, The Reading List by debut author Sara Nisha Adams is a book about books. Under the spell of a book for the first time Mukesh decides to check out the local library where he meets Aleisha the librarian who recommends him books off the mysterious list. One day he discovers a dust-ridden library book under the bed that Naina had forgotten to return and decides to try reading it to feel closer to her. Constantly beleaguered by his bossy daughters and ignored by his granddaughter, he desperately misses his late wife Naina and looks for any remaining connection to her to hold on to. Perhaps that would help her forget her stressful home life. Bored and disinterested in everything, when she accidentally finds a waylaid book list hidden inside a library book, Aleisha decides to read every book on the list. Aleisha has the world’s worst summer job -working as a librarian.
