I'm starting to wonder if it's my duty as a librarian to read Fourth Wing... The number of people I meet out and about who want to talk about it when they find out what I do is astounding!

I was a bit unsure how to feel about this one at the end until I read the author's note and it all clicked. :)

Peace out, y’all, I’m a millionaire (and I guess a dad now?) so I no longer have to put up with nonsense. 🤣🤣🤣

I had no idea that museums couldn’t didn’t have that access until my public library started getting requests from our natural history museum! Sadly, we can only access so much. 😓

1. If you've ever used a small book your reading (book with hands)
2. As a bookmark for a bigger book you're reading (little book in big book with hands)
3. You might be a book person... (character hugging books)
4. Or have ADHD...but it's probably both(character sitting on a large pile of books)

How fun! Stopped in a Madrid bookstore where I ended up talking with a bookseller about the wonderful @dreugeniacheng.bsky.social and @antonhur.com books they had on display and she when she found out I am a librarian she asked for recent favorites to stock. 😍 #booksky

I think so too. Like the line between cozy and comforting is really blurry and what helps us can be so different!

That's a wrap on MY FATHER'S LIBERATION by Jung Ji-ah, an ironic take on the afterlife of communist partisans in postwar South Korea for HarperVia books, coming sometime in late 2026.
