Middleton Public Library’s comments from the Middleton Public Library group.

General thoughts? Did you like the book?

David wrote: "Just finished I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid. Creepy, short read, especially if you are interested in unreliable narrators."

One of our librarians read that a few months ago! Such an interesting way of storytelling that really keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. The ending was definitely a surprise!

Know of any great "bookish" books that you think we should read? Add them here!

Is there a particular book that you'd be interesting in stealing for the Library?

Which is more appealing to you, the idea of pure chaos (like the Fae) or pure order (like the Dragons)?

Would living outside of time and space be worth it to be a Librarian? Could you handle dangerous situations in order to steal priceless books?

What were your overall impressions of the book? Did you love it, like it, or hate it? We want to know your general thoughts!

Discussion questions for The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman are coming soon, but until then, take a peak at our December read for the Book Worm Book Club!

This month, we'll be discussing Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan.

Here's the synopsis:

The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon away from life as a San Francisco web-design drone and into the aisles of Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. But after a few days on the job, Clay discovers that the store is more curious than either its name or its gnomic owner might suggest. The bookstore’s secrets extend far beyond its walls.

Join us for the first "meeting" of the Book Worm Book Club, an online book club where we'll be reading and discussing books that celebrate the love of books and libraries.

This month, we'll be discussing The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman.
Here's the synopsis:

Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, which harvests fiction from different realities. And along with her enigmatic assistant Kai, she's posted to an alternative London. Their mission - to retrieve a dangerous book. But when they arrive, it's already been stolen. London's underground factions seem prepared to fight to the very death to find her book.

Adding to the jeopardy, this world is chaos-infested - the laws of nature bent to allow supernatural creatures and unpredictable magic. Irene's new assistant is also hiding secrets of his own.

Soon, she's up to her eyebrows in a heady mix of danger, clues and secret societies. Yet failure is not an option - the nature of reality itself is at stake.
