Book Riot is teaming up with LitNuts for a chance to win a 1-year subscription to Kindle Unlimited! Libraries have always felt like magical places for me. The books filling library shelves are portals to new worlds. This sense of enchantment nudged me towards a career in the library field. Though as a library worker, I aspire to channel more of an Evie from The Mummy vibe than a scary spirit owl from Avatar. Looking to get lost in a magical or mysterious library this holiday season?
