Review: The Midnight Library by Hatt Haig

Posted on December 10, 2022 by Liz (AKA Cat)

If I had to choose just one book that I read in 2022 that utterly wrecked me, it would be The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. I almost regret that it took me nearly two years to get around to reading it. I may have waited even longer if not for a friend’s recommendation. Continue reading →

A couple of months ago, I read my first novel by T. Kingfisher (Nettle & Bone, for those that are curious). I was instantly hooked. From that moment, I promised myself to try and snag the rest of her books, and thankfully my local library is willing to work with me on that count! First up on the list, we have A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking, which is a delightful name. I can tell you that I enjoyed the book just as much as the title. Continue reading →
