The Invisible Library ( Book 1)
By Genevieve Cogman
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Irene must be at the top of her game or she'll be off the case – permanently . . .
Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, which harvests fiction from different realities. And along with her enigmatic assistant Kai, she's posted to an alternative London. Their mission – to retrieve a dangerous book. But when they arrive, it's already been stolen. London's underground factions seem prepared to fight to the very death to find her book.
Adding to the jeopardy, this world is chaos-infested – the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic. Irene's new assistant is also hiding secrets of his own.
Soon, she's up to her eyebrows in a heady mix of danger, clues and secret societies. Yet failure is not an option – the nature of reality itself is at stake.
The Invisible Library is followed by the second adventurous title in the The Invisible Library series, The Masked City.
I thought this was brilliant! It was definitely an appealing concept. Librarians crossed with Sherlock Holmes set in a steam punk environment with supernaturals what’s not to love? This is a new author for me too and I just loved her style. I’m so looking forward reading the rest of this series and more from the author too. I’m a sucker for Dragons too and this has powerful Dragons!

Bostonian916 (449 KP) rated Roku Express in Tech
Sep 28, 2020
I love my Roku. It allows me to utilize my extensive digital library as well as Netflix and other streaming services. It does require an occasional software reboot, which is to be expected. I will eventually upgrade to the Ultra now that I have tested the software to my liking.
I stumbled upon this book in my college library years ago; this narrative/ethnography of shamanic culture juxtaposed with our modern society's obsession with being "woke" gave me a new perspective on MANY things, and even caused me to switch my major to Anthropology so I could keep reading this stuff.
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Read on Arrival: A Bookmobile Mystery in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received a copy of Read on Arrival from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
In the small town of Catalpa Springs, Georgia a vile woman has kept a library book for over 40 years.
She tries to mend her ways but dies.
Enter Cleo Watkins runner of a bookmobile who is basically trying to save her library from being turned into a...I'm not even sure what.
The character interactions are great even though the beginning seems to be people sniping at each other, the book does a lot of showing not telling in regards to character traits.
I really enjoyed this one and actually didn't guess the murderer!

How Lisa was treated after her stroke (1 more)
The use of the ‘n’ word
I could not finish this story
I checked it out from the library on a whim.I hated this, I got to the point where I didn’t want to see if the book redeemed itself.
I’m sure other people will like it, I’m just overly sensitive about such things.
There also was a lot of swearing, almost to the point of being off putting, but I am willing to look past that, just not the racism and the way Lisa’s family treated her after her stroke.. if it wasn’t a library book, I would have turned that book into a junk journal.
