Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library
Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library

My daughters and I listened to this book on a recent road trip to visit family.

Kyle Keeley loves games. Especially games created by the fabulous Mr Lemoncello. When the new library comes to town and offers 12 lucky essay contest winners a chance to be the first to see it by participating in an overnight event full of food, games, and prizes, Kyle decides he has to be one of the participants. Even better, he discovers that none other than Luigi Lemoncello himself is the mastermind behind the incredible new library.

Once the overnight event is finished, Kyle and the other 11 winning students find themselves still locked in, and invited to participate in one more game. They have to find a way to escape from Mr. Lemoncello's library. With the clues provided in the puzzles and games presented to them, and an entire library at their fingertips, Kyle and his team of friends have to use all of their wits to win the game and find the exit before time runs out.

This was a fun story full of references to books I loved as a kid. My daughter had fun trying to figure out the puzzles as the story went along, and it kept the whole family entertained. We're looking forward to the next installment in this series.

This was just the cutest thing! I love the little props, especially the library. Nancy Rose did an amazing job at capturing these little guys at just the right moments (even if it did take hundreds of photos to get the right ones). Just too adorbs.

Read this book!
Read this book. I don't say that very often, but read this book. I suggest getting it from the library, because the current hardcover price is ridiculous, since the story is only 49 pages long. It's obviously a quick read, but it's worth it!

Movie Favorite

"Have just watched The Exterminating Angel for the first time since fuzzy VHS in University of Texas A/V library. He is my hero. Mike Nichols said in the newspaper he thinks of Buñuel every day, which I believe I do, too, or at least every other."

This was my first Irving read.... and I honestly could not force myself to finish this book. I made it about halfway through before I just returned it to the library. Something about it... just wasn't a fan.

I still want to know who Johnny's father is though, lol.

My virtual library.
I’ve turned all my devices in to my own personal libraries. I
absolutely love this app.
So user friendly.
Love that I can change the back lighting to make it easier on my eyes.

Never without a good book!
I will always prefer a book in hand, the feel of the cover, the turning of the page, but for someone like me, always on the go - having a virtual library at my fingertips is one of the greatest gifts of technology - IMO.

Beautifully written novella
Got to love a bookseller who shelves books in his personal library according to eclectic criteria, including not shelving books next to each other if the authors don't get on!

I love Libby and I love letting others know about it! It lets people access free eBooks through their local library and it's super convenient. The app was once just Overdrive, which was a bit clunky. The new Libby app is quite user-friendly and smooth.
