Time spent enjoying something is not wasted. Read while you can.

Post by Laura Keating: "You will die with books unread. It's not morbid, just a fact. So buy what you want, get what you like when you can. This isn't a school project, a book report isn't due. You've supported an author and collected art you love. A library of unread books is a beautiful thing."

Am currently 15 books away from my year's goal of 365 with 84 days left remaining in the year.
I'm thinking there's a good chance I'll surpass that goal by quite a few books by 11:59pm Dec 31st.
Hopefully anyways... 🤞🏻😏

It's some boo sheet for real.

A ghost with a book on its head, a candle in one hand and a book in the other says "So you're saying I CAN'T get paid to read?! This is Boo Sheet!"

Happy Spooky Lakes Month to all who observe 👻🌊
31 days of haunted hydrology with Geo = the only thing keeping me sane while the country does its best dumpster-fire-in-a-tornado impression.

Sorry I missed the latest book discourse babes, I got distracted by… y’know… books.

Everyone thinks my hoard is just books. WRONG. With my library card I’ve stacked up ebooks, audiobooks, movies, magazines, and classes. A multidimensional treasure pile all made possible by my FREE public library card.

A library card is the most powerful treasure in the goblin arsenal. One swipe = books, movies, language classes, job help, digital archives. All free. All MINE. (And yours...if you have a library card.)

Gold? Overrated. Jewels? Meh.
My hoard is endless free books and shiny knowledge—thanks to my library card, the ultimate book goblin loot key.

A library card costs $0. Benefits? Unlimited. Books, movies, e-audiobooks, streaming, classes, community events. Why wouldn’t you sign up?

Getting a library card is easier than ordering takeout. And unlike takeout, it feeds your brain and your soul for free. 📚💳

It was a dark and stormy day… so naturally I curled up with a book, snuck some snacks, and read like the thunder itself demanded entertainment. Cozy goblin life, powered by vibes and crumbs.

Every Sunday I watch football, but every commercial break I’m back in my book. Who says I can’t scream at a touchdown and live in a fantasy world at the same time? Touchdowns + plot twists all day. 🏈📚

How do I keep my reading life exciting? By playing bookish Russian roulette. Grab a TBR book based on vibes, crack it open blind, and let chaos guide the plot.

Weekend plans:
Curl up with my hoard, devour words, and let reality rot outside my door. By Sunday, I’ll be nothing but ink and vibes.

Me: maybe I should check on reality
Also me, sick and buried in books: Nope! Reality can wait. I have dragons to negotiate with.

Me: I should do something productive today
Also me, sick in bed: Maybe I’ll just finish 3 books instead… 📚 (Repeat for 7 days)

In another world, I’d happily work. In this one, I work because money. I don’t hate my job, I just hate capitalism. But I want my glasses, KU addiction fed, and sweet treat hoard stocked… so I keep showing up like a feral little paycheck gremlin.

Sigh. I do not crave 5 side hustles and 2 part-time jobs. I crave one cozy library gig and one side quest where I get paid per page of Romantasy I devour. Let me feast on books, collect coins, and never feel guilty about ignoring “real work.”

Re-reading is like sneaking back into a tavern where I know the secret passages, the punchlines, the heartbreak. Every time feels like coming home and falling in love twice.

The tragedy of being a ravenous book goblin is sometimes I crave a very specific flavor of story only to realize I’ve already devoured every morsel in that niche. So I must gnaw on re-reads like leftover bones. Tasty, yes, but not new.

Libraries are proof that not everything good has to turn a profit. A radical idea, really. Dangerous. Beautiful. Keep them funded.

Me tasked with Library PR, sprinting through the library with a camera like a caffeinated cryptid: “Smile, you beautiful brick box of knowledge! We’re gonna make you look like the coziest, most magical lair for unsuspecting students come Fall!” 📚✨

Work brain says: shelve the books, help the students, keep it professional.
Goblin brain says: flee home to your Kindle and gorge on your TBR until your eyes burn and your soul ascends to the Great Library in the Sky

Shelved & weeded books for two days in my library. Arms dead, back murdered, brain feral. Library work is intellectual and physical warfare. You think it’s “easy”?
Step into my neatly ordered stacks, coward.

First day back at work and my books are at home without me..lonely, untouched, whispering my name in the quiet.
I am feral in captivity, longing to return to my paper kingdom 📚

The last day of my vacation dawns. My bookstore spoils gleam in the dim light. I shall not leave my nest until the final page falls and Monday finds me ink-drunk and unrepentant.
