I just finished reading THE MEMORY LIBRARY, by Kate Storey. This story hits close to home. It is full of life lessons, relationships between mothers and daughters, and a love of books. As I read this book, I thought about my life and the thousands of books I have read and shared during my lifetime. I spent most of my life in libraries and bookstores. I took the "Best book at the best time" seriously and tried to suggest books that I thought the intended reader would enjoy and many benefit from the reading the stories. Most of those of us who love books have favorites. Have you ever stopped and thought about why a certain book is a favorite? This book is definitely worth reading and its impact will last a long time.
PS--If my mom was still here with us, I would give her this book to read so we could talk about the story and our relationships. I would probably be surprised by some of our revelations to each other.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one because I didn't like the voice given to some of the characters.

I am a retired public school librarian who wishes this book could be on the novel study list for 8th and 9th grade students. The research and activities parts of the novel study that I could create for this book would be over the top. Some of the parents in my school community would probably have the hounds of hell rained on me. I wouldn't care how they react as long as they didn't refuse to allow their children to read and participate in this novel study. I am so happy I listened to the audio instead of reading for myself because actually hearing the true voices made the story so much more real. I learned so much from this story. I wish I had read it when it was first released instead of waiting until now. I am thinking of several of my students who would benefited from reading this powerful story. I never knew that THUGLIFE stood for something so powerful. Thank you for sharing this story with everyone because we all need to read and understand a fraction of what others go through on a daily basis just to survive.

OMG! What started as a book filled with mostly sex evolved into one the most loving and passionate love stories ever!

OMG!!!! I just finished reading this book! I am absolutely spent. I wasn't prepared to read a total tear-jerker. I have avoided reading this type of story since my mom and husband both departed this world 3 years ago. This story is so good, I can't find appropriate words to describe it. As I was absorbed in my reading, I was thinking I should read more of the author's books. If his other books are as poetic and heartrending as this one, I think I will wait awhile before reading another one. By the way, a man can write a good romance.

Romance stories are not my first choice. I read one occasionally. My extended family has been through some tougher than usually time over the last six months. (Not COVID related) I was looking for something fun to read. A friend suggested this one. I thoroughly enjoyed this modern day fairy tale.

I love this series. I think this is the best one so far. Every time I thought I had the mystery solved another wrinkle was added. This one kept me guessing until near the end!

I am a MAD librarian, also. I know many MAD librarians who are MAD for the same reason----LITTLE OR NO MONEY! Serenity is my hero! She does what we all wish we could do! Find a gold mine and create a library that is all things to all people. The ending made me sad.

I know so many people who loved this book. I decided to see what all the fuss was about. I might have liked it better if I had read it instead of listening to it. I intensely disliked the voice of Kya. That wispy, baby voice irritated the heck out of me. I hate it when I meet women who are still using a baby voice when they are 60 plus years old, I grew up in rural Virginia during the time the story took place. I found the people of the area to be realistic because I could put a name and face of someone I knew as a child who acted just the same as the narrow-minded, judgmental people in the story. There were times when I thought the book would never end. I had mixed feelings about Tate. I loved him for loving Kya and treating her the way should have been treated. Then, I hated him for abandoning her. Then, I loved him for coming back to her. I still do not believe Kya killed Chase, even though he deserved to be thrown off the fire tower. He was a totally despicable person who felt he was entitled to take whatever he wanted. After all this, I still think the book was a good story. I just wish I had read it instead of listening to it.
