Gonna need people to support middle grade and YA titles bc where do we think adult readers come from!! If kids don’t have good books to read from like 8 - 12 they are going to stop reading 😭😭😭😭

Told my mom we're Canadian now 😆 Quebec better hold on to their shorts!

TWO DAYS left 🐰🇵🇷💃

ok #library peeps help! We can't remember the title of a children's book published +/- the last five years. There's some sort of asteroid headed to earth (or similar situation) and the girl's family has all come to her house. There is a twist ending where she ends up going to court to testify.

I was looking at this earlier in the week and thought it sounded great #ewgc

MAKE ME BETTER by Sarah Gailey has some elements in common with Nine Perfect Strangers, which has me locked in. #ewgc

Is that protea on the cover? So pretty 😍 #ewgc

The cover art grabbed me but the premise is even better: Religious cult kidnaps (another) OBGYN to tend to their flock. OBSTETRIX by Naomi Kritzer #ewgc

Time Travel Trad Wives sounds like a really great Bravo show. Would watch 💯 #ewgc

Super hyped for Temi Oh's NOT WITH A BANG. It's the end of the world - maybe a bit on the nose for our times, but then again maybe not #ewgc

Esta la semana de Benito and I think that’s beautiful 😍 🇵🇷

Today is stressful: Internet is down at work, I seem to have lost my Spanish computer vocabulary, & it’s so hot in here my eyelids are sweating. Send adorable pet pics pls

Another #libfaves25 for me is THE COUNTRY UNDER HEAVEN by Frederic S. Durbin. Familiar landscapes rendered w/ an otherworldly pen in this post- Civil War picaresque. Soldier Ovid roams the American West only to encounter liminal beings and strange sights as he helps those he encounters.

SISTER, SINNER by Claire Hoffman chronicles Aimee Semple McPherson's rise as a Pentecostal preacher. But it's also the mysterious tale of Aimee's disappearance and eventual return, then put on trial for faking her own kidnapping. A captivating profile of early 20th C. fame & folly. #LibFaves25

Let's try again: The aliens are coming... and they're headed for Indian Country. HOLE IN THE SKY by Daniel H. Wilson is unputdownable! #LibFaves25

The aliens are coming... and they're headed for Indian Country. HOLE IN THE SKY by Daniel H. Wilson is unputdownable! #LibFavs25

Welp, I started the year reading what I though was science fiction: REKT by Alex Gonzalez. Now that the year is over I feel it might become science reality (I'm wincing too!) Mix a little unresolved grief with AI and revenge, then shake. #LibFavs25

RAISED BY GHOSTS by Briana Loewinsohn: a poignant semi-autobiography on her struggles to connect & her absent family. Written as a journal/scrapbook, the notes and ephemera from the 1990s evoke a distinct sense of place while connecting readers to lasting adolescent truths. #LibFaves25

Hello fellow librarians! I have two library things I'd love some help with. First, I'm going to be co-chair of the Essential Cookbooks committee next year and we'd love some new members! You'd fill out the RUSA volunteer form. #librarysky 2024's list for an example: rusaupdate.org/2025/01/esse...

This one sounds great! (ancient aliens?) #ewgc

‘‘Tis the season for the Calcifer Yule Log 🔥

The male unicorn was too feminine, fluttering beautiful eyelashes instead of pounding energy drinks at the gym with his bros

A LOT of industry folks need to take "I think there's a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit" to HEART.
