I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
As soon as I saw this book by Anna James I had to have it. I adore Tilly and the Bookworms series so much and love how Anna writes about the passion for books. And this short story was no different. It’s an ode to libraries, school libraries and librarians. And for me this book (yet again one I wish I had written myself) embodies all of that perfectly. My secondary school library was a haven for me, my favourite place in the world with the most wonderful librarians. Libraries and librarians are underrated and so such a wonderful job and create a beautiful magical place to be. So this book is right up my street already but this book perfectly does all of that. I’m not a short story sort of person but this was great, could immediately start to get to know the main characters, understand the setting and you felt like you were there too (that may also be my son experience coming into play too)
Love it!
