I want to move from just posting dog videos to talking about books and YouTube seems like far too much commitment. I will host it on booktok because why not. One book a month – finishing on my birthday month of August. The rest of this year is looking hectic for me so I’m going to host a readalong next year. I suspect we mind have to add an intertextual nod in the rewrite.

And someone on goodreads mentioned a cliffhanger in Book 7!Īnother reason I can’t read it yet is because the blurb has echoes of a middle grade book I’m writing with a buddy so we want to finish our draft before we go reading other things that sound similar. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ The Blurb says that the book can be read as standalones or as a sequence but I personally can’t read out of order – it’s not the same. I appear to have unintentionally added an 8 book series to my to read list.

Requesting this one to read them together and realising that this is book 8 and the reason you didn’t read the first one was because you liked the Story but weren’t keen on the audio narrator. Recognising the author as the one that wrote The Invisible Library that you’ve been meaning to get to for a while. Excited about the idea of The Untold Story. What happens if you mix a book blogger with ADHD, a TBR house, a penchant for stories about stories and a rapid response to a PR email? Genevieve Cogman’s hobbies include patchwork, beading, knitting and gaming, and she lives in the north of England Although The Invisible Library is her debut novel, she has also previously worked as a freelance roleplaying game writer. But on a perhaps more prosaic note, she has an MSC in Statistics with Medical Applications and has wielded this in an assortment of jobs: clinical coder, data analyst and classifications specialist. Genevieve Cogman got started on Tolkien and Sherlock Holmes at an early age, and has never looked back. With her allies endangered and her strongest loyalties under threat, she’ll have to trace his past across multiple worlds and into the depths of mythology and folklore, to find the truth at the heart of the Library, and why the Library was first created. But when the Library orders her to kill him, and then Alberich himself offers to sign a truce, she has to discover why he originally betrayed the Library. Irene is trying to learn the truth about Alberich-and the possibility that he’s her father. In this thrilling historical fantasy, time-traveling Librarian spy Irene will need to delve deep into a tangled web of loyalty and power to keep her friends safe.
