What I've been reading...

So, here are some of the books I've been reading lately! (And, since I assume that pretty much everyone who reads this blog has read them all, I have not bothered posting/reviewing. Happy to discuss any of them, though, upon request. ;D )

The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman

5 Stars

Summary: "Elizabeth has a new job at an unusual library— a lending library of objects, not books. In a secret room in the basement lies the Grimm Collection. That's where the librarians lock away powerful items straight out of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales: seven-league boots, a table that produces a feast at the blink of an eye, Snow White's stepmother's sinister mirror that talks in riddles.

When the magical objects start to disappear, Elizabeth embarks on a dangerous quest to catch the thief before she can be accused of the crime—or captured by the thief." (taken from GoodReads)

Review: I liked this book well enough. I thought the premise was intriguing (who doesn't want to visit a library full of objects instead of books?!) but I wasn't really able to connect with the characters. It had potential but kind of fizzled out a bit. However, it kept me interested enough to finish it so it was worth one read I suppose.
