Love Amelia Peabody and Emerson her husband, if you like period drama set in Egypt as much as I do you’ll love these. Elizabeth Peters studied the subject for many years and so this series has ancillary characters and descriptions of settings that actually existed around the time it’s set in, I loved that about these books.

Story
Emmett Farmer is working in the fields when a letter arrives summoning him to begin an apprenticeship. He will work for a Bookbinder, a vocation that arouses fear, superstition and prejudice - but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse. He will learn to handcraft beautiful volumes, and within each he will capture something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If there’s something you want to forget, he can help. If there’s something you need to erase, he can assist. Your past will be stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible.

Drawn into the orbit of Old Street's famous 'silicon roundabout', Peter must learn how to blend in with people who are both civilians and geekier than he is.
