Likest thou jelly within thy doughnut?
The Dresden Files have opened my mind up to a genre I've never read before: Urban Fantasy. And I don't know how many times I have reread the entire series. Ben Aaronovitch and his Peter Grant series came next and just made me love the genre even more. Jim C. Hines is the kind of guy who always has s...

Originally posted at The BiblioSanctum.This was a book I had high hopes for, ever since finding out what it was about.

Spoilers. Libriomancers have the ability to “pull” things such as objects and even people/animals (albeit, it’s a bit dangerous to pull anything other than objects from the books) from books. Isaac is a libriomancer who has been delegated to a librarian job after something went awry during an invest...

Magic allows certain people to pull objects out of books, shaped by the love of readers and the power of the Libriomancer. Isaac’s job though is not to go off fighting monsters anymore, because with magic such as this, there needs to be someone to catalogue books based on which items may be useful t...
