Sorry about all the MIA-ness lately. I've been busy. Less busy now, but I'd thought I'd drop in to give you... A BOOK RECOMMENDATION!!!!!
I found this one at the library at Seeding Saturday party (which is also the world's saddest bachelorette party for plants) called The Astral Library by Kate Quinn. I hid it under my pillow and started reading it, and it's great. I think it was released just last month.
Bookworms, you need to give it a read. The description:
Alexandria “Alix” Watson has learned one lesson from her barren childhood in the foster-care system: unlike people, books will never let you down. Working three dead-end jobs to make ends meet and knowing college is a pipe dream, Alix takes nightly refuge in the high-vaulted reading room at the Boston Public Library, escaping into her favorite fantasy novels and dreaming of far-off lands. Until the day she stumbles through a hidden door and meets the Librarian: the ageless, acerbic guardian of a hidden library where the desperate and the lost escape to new lives...inside their favorite books.
The Librarian takes a dazzled Alix under her wing, but before she can escape into the pages of her new life, a shadowy enemy emerges to threaten everyone the Astral Library has ever helped protect. Aided by a dashing costume-shop owner, Alix and the Librarian flee through the Regency drawing rooms of Jane Austen to the back alleys of Sherlock Holmes and the champagne-soaked parties of The Great Gatsby as danger draws inexorably closer. But who does their enemy really wish to destroy—Alix, the Librarian, or the Library itself?
I've never given a latest-release book recommendation on my blog before, so this was new and fun to me! I'll give you more recommendations throughout the years so you can find a book that'll prevent boredom in the long months.
Months that seem long to me: January, February, May, September, October, November. They feel especially long. I'll make sure to give you some great new releases in those months!
With love,
~ Marci
