Cinfhen That‘s amazing 23/24 books!!! I might own a few more on my Kindle and Audible but I‘ll be needing to borrow a bunch 4y
jenniferw88 @Cinfhen and 12 of them are from the backlist, so that's good too! 🙂 4y

If you love the library as much as I do, you will love this book. It‘s history with true crime and present day happenings mixed in. I loved Susan Orlean‘s writing. She‘s very descriptive, but she doesn‘t make you feel like you‘re reading a textbook. This was a great nonfiction read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thelibrarybook

This author has a way of sharing things that make a lot of sense to me, but that I never really thought of before.

She starts this paragraph by saying that in Senegal when someone dies, they say that their library burned down. I may need to start using that.

I...love this book so far. I‘ve cried about five different times, about several different things, and I just...what a book, and what a story. #thelibrarybook #susanorlean

It‘s my birthday month and I‘m vowing to post at least once every day this entire month!

2/1/19 My first post is about The Library Book. Just picked up a copy at my fav local bookstore, Face In A Book.

Part true crime, part history, part mystery, I‘m told The Library Book is a love letter to public libraries and is the book that every book lover should read this year.

On the morning of April 29, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the LA Public Library. The fire burned for more than 7 hours, engulfing the library in its ferocity. By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed 400,000 books and damaged 700,000 more.
I learned so much from this book! Her writing was in-depth & compelling! A great read for all book lovers & librarians! #netgalley #eARC #TheLibraryBook #SusanOrlean Full review: https://bit.ly/2QGshdV

The Library Book is such a captivating novel with a blend of mystery, history and thorough analysis of the future of libraries.
Read Susan Orlean‘s novel and you will have visited the mystery, geography, biography, humor, history and political sections of a library all in one book. Thank you to Netgalley for an advance copy of this book. My reviews are fair and unbiased. #netgalley #thelibrarybook. Full review at thejwordpress.wordpress.com
