Le Bilbliomancien

Books, magic and literary references mix in this fun adventure story filled with likeable characters and a blend of genres that really spoke to the book lover and geek in me. It's Fast-paced and set in an interesting world where magic, objects and creatures can be pulled from the pages of books. In a twist it also featured only the second spider character that I actually liked (I HATE spiders and Charlotte from Charlotte's Web is first and only one I've actually been okay with until this book). His name is Smudge and he's a magic fire spider pet....and he totally won me over! I also enjoyed the human or humanoid characters as well. The interesting places that the story took had me flipping pages fast and enjoying the ride. I don't think I loved it, but I did really like it.
