I was just at the B&N store in my city, and the staff picks were all stuff that I already loved. It was nice to see that we were on the same page.

(The "staff pick" for Project Hail Mary had me giggling what they had written. I'm paraphrasing, but it was "best book I've read in a while and I would literally die for the co-protagonist." )

My wife was looking for some book (I can’t remember what now) a few months ago and couldn’t find it even though it said it was in store on their site. I told her I’d ask the girl at the information desk and she was like “awesome! I just read that book! It’s so great!” She excitedly asked one of the guys to check the back and he was just as excited and said “[book name]! Nice!” and retrieved it for me. Maybe they were just trying to be really customer service forward but they seemed legit excited to get that book for me so someone else could read it too.
