Since we can't have dozens of customers in store as we usually would this time of year, we've come up with other ways to keep our booksellers' recommending skills sharp.  The latest challenge?  The 90 second book list.  Here's how it works.  Each bookseller gets a topic and 90 seconds to find as many books as fit that topic as possible.

Today's challenge for Rachel came from one of our customers!  Phyllis in New York challenged her to create a stack of easy chapter books for first and second graders.  For Rachel, who's the head of our children's department and our children's book selector for Brilliant Books Monthly, this was hardly a challenge.  With only 90 seconds, she'd put together a stack of more than 20 books!
