Every avid reader knows that books are magic! They transport us from our everyday struggles and send us on amazing adventures. When we return, we're not always the same. 😉 So, what could be more magical than YA books about magical libraries? I've compiled a list for you to enjoy!
An limited-time collection of YA stories featuring books and libraries! Here's a little sneak peek of what's inside these enchanting pages.

Well, well, well. If it isn't my latest obsession. Without too many spoilers, books in this fae realm contain dangerous living nightmares, and only special individuals can contain them. This book has a slowburn romance and an underlying mystery that will keep you turning pages.
