The Good, The Bad and The History (Chronicles of St. Mary's #14)

by Jodi Taylor

There’s something very satisfying about shelving books. Making sure the whole bay is perfect before moving on to the next. And then scowling at the bunch of feckless wastrels – or historians as they like to call themselves – as they burst into the Library and TOUCH THE BOOKS. AGAIN. Which, apparently, is something that is allowed to happen. Whereas glaring at any and all potential readers is not. It strikes me the world of librarianism needs a little rethinking.

Or were they being extra polite to each other in that special English way that says, I detest you and will rip out your heart at the first opportunity. May I pour you another cup of tea?
