Sweet home Chicago! 🤩 I would recommend @annnapolitano.bsky.social's "Hello Beautiful" for a great Chicago read, too. (Librarian protagonist, campus storyline, basketball storyline, Little Women references: it covers all the bases.)

Lit Hub @literaryhub.bsky.social · Dec 13

Rebecca Makkai recommends books that capture the spirit of Chicago.

Read Your Way Around Chicago

Chicago is a city of bookish abundance, home to countless literary giants past and present. The author Rebecca Makkai recommends works that capture its spirit.
