Wow! Great book! The reviews that I read said that lots of books are set in bookstores but most of the time it doesn't matter. Not so with this book. And they were right! This is a wonderful story where the characters' love of books is a delight! I loooooove this book!!
107. The Order of the Trees by Katy Farber
This was a lovely complement to The Hidden Life of Trees that I read earlier this month. It is a fictional story about the saving of some woods.
108. The Dream-Quest of Vellit Boe by Kij Johnson
This novella was a revisit of HP Lovecraft's The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, which I haven't read. I think that the story is interesting without knowing the source material, but I imagine it would be a deeper experience with familiarity with the Lovecraft story. It is a journey, a quest, between two worlds. Personally, my favorite parts were of the cat, that reminds me of my own little Phryne Bear. They are both lithe black kitties with green eyes.
109. Queen of the Flowers by Kerry Greenwood
Speaking of Phryne, the next book I read was book 14 in the Phryne Fisher mystery series. Such a wonderful world to spend time in. Quite a treat and a lovely end to my 2016 reading.
