Father set each of his newly adopted children to learn a specific section (“catalog”) of his Library with basically two rules: do not fail, and do not learn anything outside of your assigned catalog. He brought them to live at his mansion, taught them to speak Pelapi (his ancient langauge), and sequestered them from American culture. She was a normal, American girl until her parents died, at which point she – and other young orphans – went to live with Father, a man with unlimited power and knowledge. The book follows Carolyn, a young woman who has had a curious life. I finally got around to reading The Library at Mount Char, by Scott Hawkins, which had been on my TBR list ever since it released in June 2015. Thank goodness books are not buses – if you’re late, you can still catch it – because I loved this ride.
