The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman

 



by


This book was a birthday gift to me from a family member.  I finished reading it on my kindle last night.  The genre of the book is fantasy or possibly sci-fi which is a different type of book than I normally read.  I did take me a bit into the story to begin to be able to follow it but by midpoint I was hooked and the last quarter of the book I finished in one setting.  It is a good story and the first novel of a series so I will have to read the others in the series eventually.  The library that is invisible is between alternate realities and saves books for all time from these various worlds.  It sends librarians out into the various realities to obtain particular books and bring them back to the invisible library.  While trying to obtain the particular copy of the book required the librarian, Irene, has to deal with faes, dragons, monsters, werewolves, vampires and lots of other gruesome enemies that try to stop her.  It was a fun read and a good escape.  I recommend it to anyone who is wanting a light read.  Please click on the author's name and book title above to follow the links to more information and enjoy the video that follows.

Extraordinary Relationships by Roberta Gilbert MD

 



by




Roberta M Gilbert, MD has written this personal development genre book which is explains a way of looking at relationships.  If a person has ever wondered what influences the manner they interact with the people they come in contact with this book will give them one frame work of understanding.  It explains the impact of sibling oder and the sibling order of parents on how a person interacts with their spouse and children. Based on the life work of Dr Murray Bowman, it is an interesting book that a family member of mine read and recommended.  I have recommended it to several other of my family members since reading it.  It is not light reading but it is worth the effort to take the time to understand the material and will provide insight to those that choose to read it.  After all,  we can always improve our interactions with others and our understanding of ourselves.  Please click on the book title and author's name above to follow links to more information and watch the video that follows.
