Emmett Farmer is a binder’s apprentice. His job is to hand-craft beautiful books and, within each, to capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory.
If you have something you want to forget, or a secret to hide, he can bind it – and you will never have to remember the pain it caused.
In a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books – and secrets – are meticulously stored and recorded.
Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing discovery: one of the volumes has his name on it.

DNFThis book was been on my TBR forever, so I finally picked it up. However, as beautiful as the aesthetics are, I'm just not wanting to pick it up to continue reading. I've been reading the physical book, and have also tried the audio version but that's even worse. I've gradually made my way to 50% through, so to me that's a good place to call it. It's just so slow and feels very dull like it's just pure misery and nothing good is happening. I don't like not finishing a book but I just have no motivation to read a book I'm not enjoying. There are so many other books I would love to read. Never mind, onto another World we go.
