I’m Daniella Snyder, a first-year graduate student at Villanova University, and your newest ‘Cat in Falvey Library’s Stacks. I’ll be posting about academics– from research to study habits and everything in between– and how the Falvey Library can play a large role in your success here on campus!

 

Hey Wildcats! Today’s an important day for book lovers. Tonight, the 2018 National Book Award winners will be announced! Presented by the National Book Foundation, their goal is to celebrate the best literature in America, expand its audience, and ensure that books have a prominent place in American culture. The five finalists in each category were selected by a panel of distinguished literary experts. This year alone, there were over 1,600 submissions. 

This week, check out some of the finalists Falvey has in the stacks or through Interlibrary Loan! Have you read any of the books on the list? Do they deserve a National Book Award? Let Falvey know! Comment below.
