If You Like Alix E. Harrow Books, You’ll Love…

Alix’s debut, The Ten Thousand Doors of January, is considered to be her love letter to stories and storytellers. The book starts in the early 1900s as a young woman named January Scaller is ward to the wealthy Mr. Locke and finds herself living a pampered life. She spends her days in a sprawling mansion that she doesn’t feel like she belongs in. The halls are decorated with artifacts that are carefully maintained, but ignored and out of place. That is how January is starting to feel about her life here until she finds a strange book. She’s drawn to the book as it carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a story of secret doors, adventure and love. The book simultaneously keeps her hooks as it reveals impossible truths about the world while also telling a story that is entwined with her own.
