Book Rec thread. I wanna post some of my 5 stars on here too so I really like remember them. First up Where Wolves Don't Die by Anton Treuer. A native kid gets in a fight with a kid at school and the next day the other kid's house catches fire.
His dad sends him to the Rez to stay with grandparents.

Cover of Where Wolves Don't Die. A bear and two wolves fighting in the art style of a cave drawing.

Yep they def needed more help than I was comfy with, but we found a few potential items. I think the research is just kind of coming out on the topic though and language isnt super consistent so playing with different search terms might be the best bet :/

I really need to clean out my inbox this week, but what a boring task? But im starting to lose things so I must...

Consultation 1 went well! Consultation 2 is a bit above my level of expertise, but the subject liaison isnt available soon, so I will try my best. Once I broke down their search strategies they actually aren't that bad, but seeing 6 lines of text in the word doc was a little intimidating. Oh PubMed.

Ugh I keep forgetting I've gotten more sensitive to dairy and forgot my lactaid TWICE today. My stomach, it weeps. And people being loud next door so I cannot sleep :(

Multiple times. My momma loved it...mostly for the dresses and Clark Gable. I also read the book in high school. Then in college a prof had us watch Watermelon Woman and I was exposed to other criticism of it on the internet. Tumblr maybe?

Did they not explain it to them like this season of project runway didnt explain western fashion to the Chinese designer so he had no idea wtf he was doing?

Lauren Day @librarianlauren.bsky.social · 1d

Huh thats a good idea. I could record whats in the drawers so I dont forget my veggies and let them rot like usual.

Lauren Day @librarianlauren.bsky.social · 1d

Welp cleaned out the spice cupboard. Threw away anything pre-2023. Was gonna do 2024, but uh a lot of our spiced were bought during the pandemic so over half say best by 2023 lol. I will slowly replace those ones over time as I see what we use now that we are cooking more.

*Raw salmon lol. Yeah I more have issues with chewy things like the squid, that take a long time to get down. Like tough steak or pork too is an issue.

So many of my friends hate the texture of tomatoes. They don't mind tomato sauce, but cannot chew them. Im generally alright with textures, but I recently started having a texture issue with Rae salmon so sushi has been hit or miss. I also never cared for the textucalamari. squid/fried calimari.

Finally took the old hanging clothes player out from below our kitchen cupboards. Its from 1997. I kinda want to see if it still works before pitching it but I dont own a CD to try it. Guess I could loan one out from the library lol.

Aww seller is so sweet.
She's giving a little discount due to a blemish she didn't notice until she was packing the order. She offered to cancel, but I'm planning to keep it on the counter by a wall so I can just have that face away.

Lauren Day @librarianlauren.bsky.social · 2d

Did post a 12 pack of full sugar mountain dew on a free fb group to get it out of my house. I will 100% give in to temptation if I hold onto it.

Lauren Day @librarianlauren.bsky.social · 2d

I was good and didn't buy the 150 bowl with lemons hand painted on it though. That one was gorgeous but I have some sense lol.

Lauren Day @librarianlauren.bsky.social · 2d

And yes I found one where the artist puts videos of them crafting so that I know it isnt an uncharging reseller lol.

Lauren Day @librarianlauren.bsky.social · 2d

Good god my retail therapy has gotten massively out of hand. Bought a fruit bowl and tshirt on Etsy just now. I did want a cute fruit bowl so I could stop keeping stuff all over the counter but did I need a handmade one? No. And I def do not need more shirts.

Should get up and walk for a bit of cardio now that I feel better, but the cat is laying on my legs and I don't wanna disturb him.

Lauren Day @librarianlauren.bsky.social · 2d

Uh someone cut open one of our back screens open and deposited a few cigarette butts. Thats worrisome. We only realized because they abandoned the scissors on our front porch. Um welp guess i am never leaving the windows open again...

I want ice cream so fucking bad. Tried to have brie and salami and bread to distract myself and it did not work. The alternative wasnt much better for me tbh, but it was more of a controlled helping since I only had a small amount of brie left. Ice cream i will just down half the pint lol.

Welp I was thinking of sticking around one more year to go to ALA one time since its close geographically next summer. But idk if I can defend the dues/conf costs after this, even on my library's dime. Maybe its time to rejoin the Michigan Library association and go all in on local orgs.
