Shelf Control is a weekly celebration of the unread books on our shelves sponsored by Lisa at Bookshelf Fantasies. Pick a book you own but haven’t read, write a post about it (suggestions: include what it’s about, why you want to read it, and when you got it), and link up!

Here is a recent Kindle freebie.
For Alex Reed, the world is an awkward place and books are her only escape. But when she is selected by a mysterious library to be its new Keeper she discovers that some books can be a lot of work.
Now Alex must balance her new adventures with the incomparable obstacles of being an anxiety-riddled teenager. All this would be completely doable, if only Hank would do as he was told.
DATE BOUGHT: July 11, 2020
WHY I BOUGHT IT: I like to stay in touch with what is being published in the teen and young adult market. In addition to picture books, I write middle grade novels. Since there is some crossover at the higher end of middle grade, it's important to see what is popular. In addition, magic is a neat element in stories for this age group. I enjoy seeing how it is handled in a variety of books.
Have you read this book? Do you like magic in novels?

A magical library sounds like the perfect setting for a middle grade adventure! This looks like a lot of fun.
I haven't heard of this author, but I do love stories about books and libraries:-)
Doesn't it, Lisa. I'm not even into fantasy all that much, but this one looked so good.
Me, too, Tammy.
Thanks for visiting.
