She lives in her houseplant forest/apartment and spends all her free time drinking tea and rearranging books. [The Library at Mount Char]( [The Library at Mount Char]( By Scott Hawkins This book is weird in all the best ways and reminded me of why I love fantasy so much. The characters were weird, the situations were weird, even their clothing was weird... but it was a GREAT kind of weird that made you want to keep reading to find out what was going on. It’s one of my favorite books that I’ve read in the past ten years.

I never got tired of it and loved following the Esposito family throughout the years. By the time I was finished, I felt like I’ve lived another lifetime with them.

You go from almost bored in Grace’s simple life, to being swept up in the whirlwind of the aftermath of a fire. I was also satisfied with the ending, and with the book as a whole. This book has a great, strong female protagonist, the plot was strong, and the characters were well developed.
