The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

A book hasn’t reached off the shelf and grabbed me like The Library at Mount Char in years. The cover, the blurb, the first page—it hooked me and reeled me in, leaving me up hours past my bedtime a few nights in a row.

A missing God.

A library with the secrets to the universe.

A woman too busy to notice her heart slipping away.

I adore how this book gets right down to business. Other authors might be tempted to explain the bizarre world that Carolyn inhabits, but Hawkins resists this trap....
