Irene is an agent of the Library, a place that exists outside normal space and time. In fact, as long as the agents and librarians that work for the Library are there, they do not age in the slightest. Only when they are out in the different worlds of the multiverse, do they visibly age, and how muc...
I won this book in a Netgalley contest and enjoyed it more than I expected to. The book features badass librarians who travel to parallel universes to steal books, and the adventures a certain librarian has along the way. There is sort of an Indiana Jones vibe, mixed with the fantasy elements of Ser...
Irene is a Librarian, and her task is to acquire rare books and take them back to the Library. This means travelling to different dimensions. Though having just completed a long mission, Irene is immediately sent out when she returns. She's even saddled with a new apprentice, who hasn't left the ...
***This review has also been posted on The Social Potato If you were blown away by Ink and Bone last year, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. If the slowness of Ink and Bone was a little harder to bear but you loved the concept, this book is DEFINITELY for you. If you are a bibliophile who wants to read a book a...

But I suppose that, if I were forced to think very hard about why I think being a librarian is so important, I would give all these answ...
The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman had me at the title. Like many a bibliophile, I love books about books. This book is a fun and light read. Too many plot elements and underdeveloped characters keep it from being a truly compelling read for me. Note that this is first book in a series; the e...
One thing any Librarian will tell you: the truth is much stranger than fiction... Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, a shadowy organization that collects important works of fiction from all of the different realities. Most recently, she and her enigmatic assistant Kai have bee...
This sounds like it would be just my thing, but for some reason, it wasn't.It's got good writing, concerning both the prose and the plot, but the world-building, while interesting, felt very discombobulated. It tried to explain itself: the Language, the Library, and the fey, creatures of chaos, and ...
