The Library Book. A Mini Review.

October 31, 2018 / beckmank / 2 Comments

4/5 Stairs. The library fire is just one piece of this library's history. While it's an interesting event, it's the rest of the history and the people Ms. Orlean profiles that makes this book an enjoyable read for any book lover.

5 Stairs to I Kissed Shara Wheeler by @casey.mcquiston . One of my two favorite reads of June!
5 Stairs to Framed in Fire by @itwhishaw Iona Whishaw. As always, I loved the latest book in the Lane Winslow mystery series. One of two absolute favorite reads in June!
4.5 Stairs to The Woman in the Library by @sularigentill This book was a story within a story, which was unexpected and so interesting! The heart of this book is a locked room-type mystery; there's a scream in the library and later a woman turns up dead - how did she get there? We follow the budding friendships of four strangers as they try to crack the case. And that's all I will say to avoid spoilers. :)
