"My all-time favorite Shakespeare play"
Jessica Reynolds
"Currently, my favorite is the play Angels in America by Tony Kushner. Although it's a #play, the way Kushner writes it almost reads like a novel. It's really incredible. In terms of #shakespeare, I have to go with the classic, Macbeth. Outside of plays, the Book Thief by Markus Zusak is my favorite #historical fiction, Echo by Pam Muñoz Ryan for historical fantasy and Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand is my favorite #biography "

"I love this book. It is very much fantasy and you have to live Shakespeare but I enjoyed it a lot."
Michelle Marotz
"This is my favorite Shakespeare book. It is one of the more underrated play of his, imo. If you haven't read it, give it a shot. Even if it means getting a modernized version."

"Right now I just picked up The Stand. What about you?"
Blagica Jankuloska
"I adore this play. Every witty insult is fun to rehash among friends. Still problematic in that the women are utterly without agency at times, but more progressive in some aspects than other plays Shakespeare has written. Still love it. Will always be my favorite. "
