"Oona is living her life out of order (don't worry, not a spoiler 😉). Every year on New Year's Eve, which happens to be her birthday, Oona wakes up into a random time of her life. The catch: She doesn't remember what she hasn't lived through. It was so fun to enjoy the twists and turns of Oona's asynchronous life. Keep a chilled bottle of bubble on hand for this one!"

"When looking around at the library's 'New Release' bookshelf, I was attracted to this cover. I love a good thriller and crime book. Anno O's plot with a forensic science focus adds intrigue - without getting too scientific but educational enough to learn and follow along. I paired Anna O with 2 popular candy bar recipes for Dr. Prince's daughter, who he absolutely adores."

"I discovered this book in a Page & Pairing article for Must-Read Book Club Books for Fall. My interest was piqued because the author co-wrote Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty with Anderson Cooper. Rarely do I see historical fiction featuring a pirate story, so I had to pick this one up! Enjoy this main course and a heavy pour. Cheers!"

 "As a child in the late '70s and early '80s, I developed an obsession with historical details related to the JFK assassination. Literary legend Stephen King's sprawling novel has rekindled that interest. I have also become swept away by the romance between 2011-based time-traveler Jake and Sadie, a librarian from fifty years in the past."

"I always enjoy a fantasy story, especially one with an interesting take on legends. This story is from the point of view of a scholar who studies faeires in different countries and her adventures during one of her trips. I'd say this book was the pairing for me.. an Emily. But additionally, I added a recipe and playlist that goes well with this read."
