Quest: Books within Books

Storygazer Quest

Libraries are uniquely special places, some are cozy, others are huge, a few are imposing, many are impeccably organized. One thing they have in common is that they are palaces of knowledge. Wandering into a library produces an indescribable feeling of awe from the vastness of all that you've yet to explore. But we must go deeper. More than picking a story from the library, we are picking one that takes place in a library.

Add books you've read that take place in a library or bookshop, or feature them as one of the main settings, or books that talk about them.
