The Invisible Hour by Alice Hoffman

“𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘺, 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵, 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.” —𝘼𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙢𝙖𝙣, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙄𝙣𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙧

My first audiobook of September 🎧

Alice Hoffman is an auto-buy author for me. I love her style of storytelling, and this was one of my most anticipated books of the year. It did not disappoint! Lucky for me I was able to borrow the audiobook on Libby, but it’s definitely another that I want to add to my collection!

In this 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘵 𝘓𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 inspired story, MC Mia falls in love with literature and becomes the hero of her own fairytale—saving herself by breaking away from the oppressive cult she was raised in. She ultimately finds herself transported back to another time, and meets her favorite author, Nathaniel Hawthorne himself. Their worlds collide and together they form a bond that time itself cannot break. Half-historical fiction/half-fantasy, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘳 is a truly enchanting exploration into the power of love, loss, time, and literature. A beautiful story of books and magic and love 📚✨❤️

The Lost Library Book Tour

The New York Times bestselling authors of Bob, Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass, introduce readers to a little free library guarded by a cat and a boy who takes on the mystery it keeps.

When a mysterious little free library (guarded by a large orange cat) appears overnight in the small town of Martinville, eleven-year-old Evan plucks two weathered books from its shelves, never suspecting that his life is about to change. 

Evan and his best friend Rafe quickly discover a link between one of the old books and a long-ago event that none of the grown-ups want to talk about. The two boys start asking questions whose answers will transform not only their own futures, but the town itself.

Told in turn by a ghost librarian named Al, an aging (but beautiful) cat named Mortimer, and Evan himself, The Lost Library is a timeless story from award-winning authors Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass. It’s about owning your truth, choosing the life you want, and the power of a good book (and, of course, the librarian who gave it to you).
