The Nocturnal Library started out in November 2011 as the joint endeavor of two Old continent beauties:
Lisa, translator turned veteran globetrotter turned soccer mom, who can often be observed trying to put her kids to sleep so she can finally read.
Somewhere along the line, Lisa decided to seek out other adventures and left it to Maja to entertain the masses, a sacred duty she willingly accepted.
On this blog, we read and review mostly Young Adult literature, but we throw in an occasional Urban Fantasy or Science Fiction title to make things more interesting. We welcome readers, reviewers, passive observers, musicians, stalkers, aspiring writers, old high school friends and all types of insomniacs. Your visit is much appreciated.
Most books reviewed on this blog were kindly provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. For every such book, the source is clearly stated at the beginning of each review.
