   Hi Readers and Typers,   
   	   
   	This used to be a regular item here in which people proposed books that   
   would make good anime,   
      
   	My 1st entry is "the Invisible Library" by Genevieve Cogman!   
   It was quite relaxing, as the heroine and her mysterious companion   
   search for a purloined book in an alternate universe filled with humans,   
   elves, werewolves, dragons and the only vampire in view gets murdered   
   before the story gets very far.   
   	  Upbeat take on dealing with the unique literature of all the   
   alternate universes.  A villain with extraordinary powers and a nasty   
   habit of shape-shifting.  A Great Detective of noble blood and Sherlock   
   Holmes's powers of observation and deduction.   
      
   Ms. Cogman is seems to be producing sequels out on a yearly basis.   
   And her heroine a Journeyman Librarian, is neither as young as she   
   looks nor as sexless as a true Victorian heroine should be.
