No Mahjong In my repertoire, but my work does have a healthy dose of whimsy. Thanks for the opportunity!

LOTR if he hasn’t read it yet. I remember reading Momo by Michael Ende at 14 or 15. The villains are men in grey who swindle people by convincing them to deposit their free time in a time saving bank and it still impacts the way I think about spending free time.

I love his use of light, the luminous look that was a trademark of his posters.

Working on a public domain picture book mashup (very much a work in progress.) Thanks for taking a look!

I have a family member with autism whom I love dearly. This line got me: “That instead of the stares and the whispers, they would be curious and brave, like children who only want to understand.”
Yes. A thousand times, yes.

Even if you’re not a Dr. Who fan, I love that your library is a light in the dark!

Reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite books: Momo by Michael Ende. There’s a tortoise that says, “More haste, less speed.”

Not quite a “cult” but I recently enjoyed the MG fantasy the Callers by Kia’s Thomas. One side of a world has convinced people they can conjure items by magic, when really, they’re stealing from the other side of the world.

The last one I read/ loved was This was our Pact by Ryan Andrews. It’s just the right balance of weird and wonderful:

I’m at an elementary school and my district uses Dewey, but LOC subject headings are helpful.
