When you are stressed, the BBC should not make it so hard to listen to the Shipping Forecast. How is a girl supposed to de-stress?

Explain your username: It is based on a character from my favourite book Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams. Aditu is a Sithi. Here she is on the cover of To Green Angel Tower - book 3

I mean the other librarian was getting calls about the list at her library. That is not the end of the world. And if people had read her message through, it directed them to us.

Well, shit.

Distribution is THE under-reported story in book publishing (outside of the trade publications) and losing B&T is going to have untold ripple effects on the industry, small presses, and authors.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

A toddler is not happy about having to leave the library. It is the under the arm carry.
