It's taken me forever to finally sir down and read this but I did it today!

Is anyone here doing the 100 Day Project? For mine I‘ve decided to read 100 pages a day since I fell behind on my reading last month. Today is day 04/100 and I‘m just under halfway there.

One of my favorite inclusions in the Once Upon a Book Club boxes are the quote cards. And this is definitely one of my favorites.

I decided to treat myself to both Once Upon a Book Club boxes this month again (with a theme like Steampunk how could I not?) and this one sounds so good! #onceuponabookclubbox #februaryyabox #thetombs #happybooknerd

This looks so adult. I've read nothing about it, but I tripped over the cover and fell in like. Since that looks like the Brooklyn bridge I bet this book is about the Tombs prison in NYC.

ladym30 Anxiously awaiting this one. 7y
LibrarianRyan @ladym30 really. What do you know about it (I rarely read book descriptions) 7y
ladym30 Being a native New Yorker and having heard about the Tombs (one of the many asylums terrorizing me as a youngster). A girl‘s mother is taken, imprisoned, and she will attempt to free her. It is a tale of darkness set in Victorian New York, and these are my favorite types of stories. 7y
LibrarianRyan @ladym30 it does sound interesting. I recently did some reading on the Tombs as it was a location in The Last Magician. This could be really interesting. Thanks. (edited) 7y

Mehso-so

I really enjoyed this more than the so-so indicates. I simply could not give it a pick when so many small things picked at me. Let's give the girl not one, but two love interests, and then neither one ends up as this. Let's sacrifice the truly good hearted and honest person in the book, in what felt to me like a senseless sacrifice. The main reprehensible character gets away with it. Other lives are introduced, then vanish into the ether. Uneven

"What is this dismal-fronted pile of bastard Egyptian, like an enchanter's palace in a melo-drama!- a famous prison, called The Tombs. Shall we go in?"
