Book Riot's 50 Must Reads From Iowa City: A City of Literature - Page 2

"As a resident Iowa-based Book Rioter, I'm very proud of Iowa City's UNESCO City of Literature designation. There are only 28 "cities of literature" in the world, and just two in the United States: Iowa City (established in 2008) and Seattle (established in 2017). These designations are earned by having a diverse publishing industry, exceptional educational programming and literary events, spaces which preserve and promote literature, and media outlets that supports readers and reading." - Emily Stochl/Book RiotNote: There were only 49 books on the original list.
