Quantity not quality
I've had Libby for two weeks now and I've managed to read five of my TBR books on the list - not too bad for a library app. It's easy to use, with a clean interface, and clearly there's a huge stock of works in the system.

The issue now is the fact that I cannot find any other books that I would like to read, and I'll have to wait for another month to get my next book on hold. There are very few new books, and it seems to be missing writings from prominent authors such as James Baldwin, Angela Davis and George Saunders. It is all dependent on how well your local library functions which can be problematic. It seems to be a postcode lottery.

They end up volunteering in the library of records in the library which has files on everything, including The Snicket Fire. But of course, as always, Esmé and Olaf aren’t far behind.

The Horrible Hospital is one of the most exciting books in the series. It’s so close to unveiling all of the secrets throughout the book and it’s so full of suspense. It’s actually one of the most unpredictable books in the series, and the twists were shocking.

It’s probably the most terrifying as well, especially with the position Olaf and his troupe have managed to get themselves into.

Olaf is at his most terrifying, and so is Esmé. They have reached a new height where I’m starting to question whether this is actually a children’s series at all.

Better Off Read (Bookmobile Mystery #1)

Cleo Watkins is a septuagenarian librarian that is hoping to save her storm-damaged library, but all hopes are lost when the primary beneficiary is found murdered. Unfortunately, Cleo’s best friend Mary-Rose and her grandson Ollie become the prime suspects.

Cleo takes to the road in her repurposed school bus turned bookmobile and is on a mission to stop the young mayor from permanently closing her beloved library and solve the murder.

The cast of characters in this book are delightful; 70 something Cleo is all heart, her best friend Mary-Rose is full of spunk, close friend Henry is a complete gentleman, and Rhett Butler (the cat) is full of cat mischief.

This was a fun cozy mystery to read and I do hope the author makes a series out of it.
