I have- So Many lost books like that but one of my favorites that I've never heard of anywhere else is The Girl who Drank the Moon!
it's this heartwarming story about a girl who accidently drinks too much magic after a witch in the woods adopts her. There's also a side plot about the son of the mayor of some town finding himself and separating himself from his corrupt family. I don't remember much about the actual plot but now I'm inspired to find it and read it again, who knows if it'll live up to child me's hype LOL
if anyone looks into it from this post though trigger warning for child abuse, human(specifically child) sacrifices, jail/mental hospital type settings and hella corrupt politics
Intriguing!

I received a copy of this book courtesy of the publisher.
Image is of “The Lost Library” by Rebecca Stead and Wendy Mass. The eBook cover is of a street library with open doors. Behind the doors is are shelves with a young boy and a ghostly building. Sitting on top of the library is a ginger cat and some mice.

After a whole bunch of process and elimination of many books, I got myself a couple books to read before the end of the year, starting with this one.

i just got my library card renewed after a very long time - do you know what all i can do with it other than taking out books? because i know there's more things but i feel like it's a silly question to ask
Not at all, and welcome back to the library life! Your millage may vary based on which of these services your library has available, but here's a few things I know of off the top of my head that are pretty common:
The library might have CDs, movies, and even newspapers you can borrow as well
Libby, an app that uses your library card to borrow and download ebooks and audiobooks to enjoy on your mobile device or e-reader
Kanopy, a streaming service for TV shows and movies
Hoopla, which has a whole bunch of stuff like shows & movies, comics, and magazines
Your library might have a makerspace that gives you access to things like 3D printers, button makers, computers with a bunch of Adobe software, ect
Sometimes they host book clubs or other fun community events!
my "#library guides" tag also has a number of posts about services like these if you'd like some more info. Your library's website should also list what services they offer, and/or you could ask a librarian there. Have fun!

(For the actual real books tag) As a child I was absolutely bananas for anything mermaids. During this time I found a book series called Ingo about a girl who gets the ability to travel between her home at the surface and the mermaid kingdom at the bottom of the sea. I might have some of the sequels somewhere but I know for a fact that the first book was at the school library and so I don't have them now... with any hope I'll be able to find copies online
Oh that's interesting, and actually this ask reminded me of a book series I had almost totally forgotten, but that book series was Emily Windsnap (I dug out one of my copies so that I could remember the title), anyway that seems separate from Ingo so good luck to finding copies online!

Something i was thinking about re: lk and oro
The way that lost kin slashes their sword around is pretty haphazard and less "refined" than other sword weilders in the game. Which is probably supposed to be because theyre a "zombie" that's filled with infection
But also
We know that sly says oro weilds his nail like a club. And the way lk weilds their sword so haphazardly is pretty club-like to me ngl
anon you are a GENIUS

the thing about this z library thing is that I see small authors rejoicing in the fact that ppl can’t steal their books anymore bc they were “losing out on sales” and. this may be immoral to say? but I kinda don’t care
