Fictional
Selections
These works of fiction are recommended by The Rug Hooker's Network. If we had to choose one shared phenomenon that The Rug Hooker's Network has witnessed since 1996, it is the truly wonderful, sharing attitude of rug hookers we have encountered, which is why we decided to recommend some fictional readings that also
evoke the same feelings of friendship and camaraderie that a shared love, history and interest produce, not to mention, some good "ole fashioned" storytelling.

If you have any books that you feel fellow ruggers may enjoy, please feel free to recommend them by e-mail to [email protected] and perhaps include a review of the book or why you enjoyed it.
