"The Women was among the most checked-out books in U.S. public libraries this year, making top-10 lists in library systems as far-flung as those in Clawson, Mich., Lawrence, Kan., Flathead County, Mont., and the entire state public library system of Hawaii. It was also the year's most-borrowed ebook on the public library app, Libby. The bestselling novel by Kristin Hannah follows a U.S. Army nurse from the frontlines of the Vietnam War to a family deeply divided about the war and her service."

Three of the top 10 titles for the country's biggest public library system, in New York City, were part of a bestselling romantasy series by Rebecca Yarros: Fourth Wing, Iron Flame and Onyx Storm. Yarros' books also showed up on most-borrowed lists from the Boston Public Library, and public libraries in Boone County, Ky. and Kern County, Calif."
