Obsessed with my dog 👀 Library clerk, horror books/movies, manga, vinyl
On Wednesdays I work 12-8PM. That's when I usually add new books. Last night was new nonfiction graphic novels!

I went to a grown-up book fair, and a vendor sold one of the coolest things I've seen!

A "Scratch off TBR" 👀 You could buy them for $1/each, but I got mine for free by purchasing other items. Basically, you scratch off the foil and underneath is a book recommendation from the vendor, herself!

Bought one of those "blind date with a book" packages at a grown-up bookfair!

The tag reads:

- Gothic Fantasy
- Brooding Caretaker
- Mysterious mansion that hides more than ghosts
-A stubborn woman drawn to darkness

I haven't opened it yet! Any guesses?!

I'll report back with an answer 🫡

It's gonna be, like, 80° out today! Time for some porch reading! We just cut down our hydrangeas, so the view isn't as pretty as usual.

Currently reading: Moshi Moshi by Banana Yoshimoto.

Every time I go to a record store, I look for Portraits by Maribou State. I came across their most recent album the last time I went to Syracuse, and I came across this one at an HMV in York, England.

Picked up Melody A.M. by Röyksopp at Rough Trade East in London. What a great record store! This album was a favorite of mine in high school. I think I first heard it maybe a few years after its 2001 release.

Rough Trade labeled this vinyl an "essential" 😁

Spent the last week in England, where we hit up a few record stores. FINALLY came across an Efterklang album in the wild 🙌

I love these guys.

Go find a Moxie, it will change your life. I ran out of the Moxie I purchased in June when I went back home for my high school reunion. Fortunately, one of our security guards was there recently for vacation, and he kindly bought me another 12-pack 😊

My library runs a program every year called "Drop Your Drawers" where we ask patrons to drop off packages of new underwear and diapers. The underwear goes to local elementary schools to replenish their supplies, and the diapers go to a local nonprofit.

We have a pride month table on the main floor - stickers, bracelets, temporary tattoos, etc. My favorite part, however, is the little sign in the corner 👀

I recently went back home to Maine for my 20 year high school reunion.

I do miss it. I really miss the picturesque, WALKABLE downtown that literally has everything you need.

Video credit goes to my husband. We climbed this awful staircase Thursday evening and again today. By choice. For exercise.

These steps are located in our city's municipal park.

This might be my favorite one yet 😂

My brain read it as, "daaannnnggg."

The weather is finally nice around here! We had to turn the heat back on last week at home, but I think it's off for good now.

The museum across the street from where I work has a garden open to the public, and it's nice to be able to go and sit outside on my lunch break 😁

I'mma need all of you to stop bringing library books to the beach. Now I have to re-cover this. Because it's full of sand 😑

I shelved some nonfiction books the other day. I always giggle when I get to books by William Shatner 😂

The 1st of each month, my library puts out an adult take-home kit called Spice Club. Each kit contains a few tablespoons of that month's spice, some recipe cards, and a printout with some brief facts about the spice, and a list of books we have that contain more info and recipes.

I suggested a few josei titles for our adult fiction graphic novel collection. We don't have too much manga in that section, mostly Marvel/DC/Image, very superhero-heavy, but what we do have is mostly geared toward a male demographic.

The librarian ordered them 🤗
