The Library Book

I absolutely loved this book.

It wasn't quite as true crime as I was expecting (although to be fair– I shouldn't have been expecting that much true crime going into it), but I loved it. This was an ode to books, to reading, and to libraries. I won't lie, it did make me look up an MLIS and contemplate a brief career as a librarian.

Sigh.

I think this is a book that all book lovers should read. It made me feel so warm, so sad, so angry, and so hopeful at times. It's not too long and Orlean's voice is absolutely radiant.

I know this one has been one that I've been looking forward to reading and I highly, highly encourage all of my fellow bibliophiles to pick it up.
