It's All Geek to Me

Last week NPR released its 2018 version of their book concierge app. I thought I’d use it to generate book recommendations that correspond to some of my favorite shows.

Here’s what I came up with:

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (searched for funny stuff, ladies first, no biz like show biz)

Just the Funny Parts by Nell Scovell

My Own Devices by Dessa

You’re on an Airplane by Parker Posey

The Great British Baking Show (searched for cookbooks and food, realistic fiction)

Number One Chinese Restaurant by Lillian Li

America is Not the Heart by Elaine Castillo

The Way You Make Me Feel by Maurene Goo

This is Us (searched for book club ideas, love stories, family matters)

To Be Honest by Maggie Ann Martin

If You See Me, Don’t Say Hi by Neel Patel

An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

The West Wing (searched for the states we’re in, it’s all geek to me, eye opening reads)

Winners Take All by Anand Giridharadas

The Library Book by Susan Orlean

Palaces for the People by Eric Klinenberg
