1. "The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin
2. "The Overstory: A Novel" by Richard Powers
3. "Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore" by Elizabeth Rush
4. "The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable" by Amitav Ghosh

Give them a read and let us know what you think! Submit feedback on Facebook by mentioning @UCSantaBarbaraLibrary and using #UCSBReadsSP. Then stay tuned as we announce the UCSB Reads 2020 selection this fall.   For a short summary of the five titles, listen to a KCSB interview with librarian Alex Regan.
