In the nonfiction stacks, readers gravitated to popular books like Michelle Zauner's Crying in H Mart and Isabel Wilkerson's Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents."
"The most-loaned fiction title within the DC Public Library was a newcomer to their top-ten list: The God of the Woods by Liz Moore, a family mystery set into motion by a 13-year-old's disappearance from summer camp in 1975. Other recent favorites, like Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and James McBride's The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, cracked the list for the second year in a row."
