Feature: What Books to Read When You’re Done Binging Your Fav TV Show

Book hangovers are real but have you ever watched a TV show from premiere to finale (where my LOST and Buffy fans at!?)? Because you know. YOU KNOW. The hangover is real. You take to fanfic sites. You discuss all of the loose ends not tied up – because clearly that means there is a spin off or book series or next season comics coming, right? RIGHT. Author and local high school librarian, Gordon Jack, tasked us with coming up with some reads to go with popular binged shows for a library display. Check out our recs below (shout to the best book squad for the assist!) and take a peek at the library set up he started!
