The Book Censor's Library by Bothayna Al-Essa
4.25
challenging dark emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

"And it dawned on him then: a library was the closest thing humanity had to the idea of the Absolute."

Over the course of reading this book, I regularly woke thinking about it and the characters. Wondering what mischief the Censor would get into, and how he would interpret and accept his 'calling'. This morning, with the final 17 pages left to read, my first thoughts were that my job doesn't define me and there is not one meaning to it all.

Happy reading 📚 💜 ☠️
