Review of Libyrinth          Libyrinth is the tale of two religious orders, the Libyrarians and the Singers, who are war with each other.   The Singers are illiterate and believe the word in a book is murder.   Libyrarians are priestesses that live in the largest library temple on their planet.   Haly, a clerk to the Priestess Selene, has the ability to hear the books and anything written down.

Goodreads:   https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/118368-top-5-wednesday 1.    Spike and Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer television series Unfortunately, this angsty relationship is really screwed up one, and I’m not denying that.   Buffy and Spike met when he arrived in Sunnydale with the intent for Buffy to be the next slayer he kills.   From then on they have an antagonistic relationship, but eventually he becomes dangerously obsessive.   With that being said, why I ship them is because my firs...
