Here are the most popular books in D.C. for 2019

WASHINGTON — D.C. got busy this year -- busy reading! Nearly five million items were checked out or downloaded from the D.C. Public Library system, which includes 25 neighborhood libraries, and a soon-to-be modernized central library. 

On Wednesday, when most of the Twittersphere was twitterpated with impeachment talk, a seemingly benign tweet from the D.C. Public Library reached trending status with a simple request for bookworms to share what they were currently reading using #BrownBagDC. Everything from apocalyptic future fiction to romance novels and YA historical fiction was discussed.
