All the stars! One of the best books I have read. It pulls you and you have to claw your way out to do all the adult things that is part of life.
Be honest with yourself and admit you have at one time or another wanted to crawl into the book you were reading and escape the world around you. I know I have. At different times in my life for different reasons.
Alix has had the morning from heck. Everything that could go wrong has. Someone has stolen her identity, she loses a job, and then her humble couch in a friend’s apartment. She goes to the place where she feels safe…the library. There she opens a door and enters The Astral Library. While here she will learn the magic of writers, their books, and how other forms of creativity provide safety for those who need it.
I am not a political person and for sure don’t discuss it on my socials or book worlds. Reading is my sanctuary and safe place but you better be dang sure I will turn into a fiery monster if you try to stifle my access to books. I will always be a proponent of letting children read what interests them. Let them come to you and ask questions and LEARN! I am so thankful my mama never said you can’t read that for whatever reason. She would read with me and we would discuss. I like to think that is why I am open minded on some things and why I never had the urge to be rebellious. I was loved by an educated woman. Not because she had many degrees (she only completed one semester of college) but because she read. She fueled and feed that love into me.
I am so excited that my library @bcplinsta is hosting a reader event with Kate Quinn in April. It will be an honor to hear a literary great discuss her novel. We determined last night at our monthly Friends of the Library meeting that I will in fact be kidnapped because of books. I didn’t read the program notes I just signed up because author event. I didn’t realize we will get a book that night as part of our attendance until my friend April told me. 😆
