It is hereby dubbed a Possibility Pile because, one, it’s super fun to say, and two, TBR sounds so … rigid. And let’s be honest, I’m absolute crap at sticking to TBRs, and there’s so much less pressure in a possibility pile. Instead of a regimented group of books I will read, I have a […]
For a nice change of pace, adulting isn’t the only scary thing going on in my life, because Halloween meant permission to read all the scary books I normally avoid! Huzzah! Honestly, I didn’t get to quite as many as I’d hoped, but I’m still working on finding that illusive work/life balance everyone talks about. […]
I’m not altogether sure what sort of sorcery this is, but I approve this message. For anyone who’s read this blog before, you may know that I have a wee bit of a problem actually sticking to TBRs. It’s hard, when you spend all day around books that are screaming PICK ME and you only […]
It’s time to play “guess that book” and also watch our TBRs weep. “First Line Fridays” is by Hoarding Books and is all about the first line of a current/upcoming read. Friday 56 is a meme hosted by Freda’s Voice, where you turn to page 56 (or 56%) in what you’re reading a find a snippet that jumps out […]
It’s time again to ask ourselves the three W’s:Would our unwritten books become restless from being ignored?What form would they take if they came to life?Would meeting this character please us … or should we just start running now? Wait, no, that’s not right. We ask these three W’s:What are you currently reading?What did you […]
Halloween is just a couple days away, and I’ve never much been into the costumes or the candy, but what I really love is all the creativity people show when carving pumpkins! It’s mostly 80% awe, 5% wondering how they did it, 5% considering how horribly I’d mess up if I even attempted it, and […]

It’s time again to ask ourselves the three W’s:Would you live in an ultra-modern Internet of Things house?What if all the walls there had eyes?What if you were paid to live there? Wait, no, that’s not right. We ask these three W’s:What are you currently reading?What did you recently finish reading?What do you think you’ll […]
So if we can’t judge books by their cover, what does that leave us with? The title? I mean, this is great, in theory, when you’ve got gorgeous titles like the ones I featured last week in Extraordinary Titles That Demand Some Attention. But what about the rest of them? Titles come in all different […]
Every job has its perks and shortcomings, and working in a library is really no different. Except for being surrounded by all the books and sitting there all day listening to them hiss, “Pick meeee,” and totally judging you when you don’t. Technically, I’m NOT a librarian, per se (not certified, anyway). I’m just the […]
