In solidarity with the latest episode of GenderPop I've taken an impromptu trip to the cinema to see The Bride! Let's see if it brings the character to life!⚡ #filmsky

There is something lovely about nighttime daffodils😊

It's movie day in the library! 📼 What are you picking? - The 1990s IT mini-series with Tim Curry as Pennywise? - A strange trio of Apollo 13, Lynch's Dune & Cronenberg's Crash? - A horror assortment of Phantoms, Hellraiser 2 & Vampire Circus? - Or a full season of Ally McBeal? Make your choice!

Greetings from the library on this misty Midlands Monday morning!📚🧡 I've spent the first few hours of my shift searching for a singular book to no avail, it appears to have disappeared into thin air! Even my powers of detection and deduction are no match for this vanishing act!🔎

Tis' a momentous day as the 1500 piece puzzle with only a 1:5 scale pic for reference is finally finished!🙌

Suitable for International Women's Day, this edition of Robin Hood not only has some great illustrations and a lovely vivid cover. It also positions Marian in a much more active role, practicing hunting & archery with the best of them, it even depicts a woman in a suitable suit of armour for once!🏹

Good morning to you on this dreary Sunday!😄 It's a good sign though that they squirrels are back out and at it, already collecting nuts again!🐿️ I hope today is rewarding for you and acts as a culmination to all the seeds you have sown throughout the week!🥜

Mixed Mexican rice bowl with added tuna for lunch, very tasty!😊

Love the cover design and glossy artwork in these story books from the 1960s. The first one I found was Pinocchio, now this The Children of the New Forrest has a very similar feel, both whimsical and surprisingly dark. A great piece of literary history!🧡📚🙌 #booksky

Came across someone on their phone, loudly saying the cliche thing of "I'm in a library!" As I told them to take the call outside they loudly said "I'm already being asked to leave!" in excited tones. I worry I'm partially responsible for people thinking the library environment is rife for content😅

Do not disturb the pub cat!😻

The fit for tonight

Everything is blue in the library today.💙 #shelfie

Good morning everyone! 😊 Sometimes being a librarian is just spending your morning wrapping up a load of used book support bandages. The crop of repairs came out alright just so you know!😄 Take care out there🧡

Confession: the new book I'm writing has taken 5+ years partially because it was an idealistic Sci-Fi about how AI could help people in the future. Then I saw what most people use it for & it became dystopian. At this point the story is a Robocop-like satire instead of a fun time travel love story😅

Your rogue librarian here, bringing you behind the stacks views. Who knew some books were so pretty from behind!😍📚

Found another homemade bookmark in this book on gravity, I love when the person takes the effort to laminate them. Homemade bookmarks are the Chaotic Good of things people leave in their library books😄

Good morning everyone! Apologies for my relative silence on here yesterday, I had very little to say. But I have heard it is World Book Day, so I am back with a vengeance for my day has come! #booksky

It's woodpecker feast time!🙌

Today has been a great day for feeling supported in my creative outlets.😊 I got to listen to the prologue for the audiobook of Friends With Death. The new GenderPop dropped. Now I've seen someone picked up a paperback of Confessions! Thank you to everyone who takes the time to support me & my work🧡

Just in time for The Bride coming out, go listen to us discuss 5 different previous representations of female Frankensteins on the GenderPop podcast! Can you guess all 5 versions?👰🔩⚡ #filmsky #podcastsky open.spotify.com/episode/7HDo...

I am breaking my healthy snacking streak for one day in the best way, wish me luck!😄

New cat in the garden! This is not a drill!😻

Come rain or shine, we repair books on #MonochromeMonday!📚

The book repairs got a little out of hand in the library today, I am now completely out of support bandages😅

The pages of this book have been put in upside down, Why Comics? indeed!

Super excited for this hangover meal, the spinach & pine nut pasta salad goes so well with softboiled eggs, and I'm betting the port Salut cheese adds a nice complimentary flavour to the mix!

Want a healthy snack at work? I've got you covered😊

This book on cinema from 1969 is full of firsthand accounts by directors of their process. Such interviews are a dime a dozen now, but I bet they were worth their weight in gold back then, or at least to the people who cared about the art of film & didn't view it as a fad or distraction! #filmsky📚🎥

The daffodils on campus are now in full bloom, so pretty!

Was accosted by a gang of 4 crows this morning on the way to work. They took my entire nut supply, despite evidently having already eaten all the worms in the local area due to all the scattered remains on the pavement. Then I had nothing to give for the magpie toll as I passed into campus.🥲

Let's give some love to this nice old book on the poetry of Sir John Davies, it's in pretty good condition considering it's 140 years old, from all the way back in 1876!🥳 #booksky #librarysky

Merry Friday everyone!😄 Walked into work today to find a these miscellaneous items on my desk, this seems to keep happening!😅 The fish is double sided and the box is empty. All I can think is it's someone trying to reference 90s UK rave culture: big fish, little fish, card-board-box!😂

Some people had Star Trek, others Star Wars, I grew up on Red Dwarf giving me an interest in sci-fi. So many concepts inspired me & stimulated my imagination. Plus, the sheer comedy gold in every damn episode! It's a British staple & I'd definitely not be the person I am without it. RIP Rob Grant😔

Dinner was this interesting little salad with 'green goddess' dressing, and a cheeky little nibble of Port Salut cheese to taste😊

Once again I was unaware there was a new set dropping, so here are my best recent pulls from the previous set

Behold and tremble at my mighty healthy snacks spread!😄

Rewatched Poor Things and I think it's made it's way onto my Top 10 films list, there is just so much going on in every scene, a real dissection of the weakness of man! #filmsky

Found some interesting looking books on international film and tv, branded with adverts for the original 70s Superman film.🦸 Real relics, crazy one film could take ownership of something that applies to a whole year of the industry, in hindsight they do look cool though! #comicsky #filmsky #booksky📚

Good morning people of Threadlington!😊 I hope you are feeling fulfilled, frisky and fancy-free on this fine Wednesday!🙌 And if not then no worries, we can burn it all down together!🧡

This book on American Art from 1931 jumped out to me on the shelves & not just due to painting print of a female centaur on the title page! It's also special due the illustrated note placed inside. History, art & knowledge are meant to inform & unite us, we should never forget that. #booksky 🧡📚🖌️

The woodpecker is back, and this time it's personal! #birdsky

Another foot promo, but this time make it moody!🖤 #monochromemonday

A Knight of the 'Nine' Kingdoms stuck the landing!🙌 I love the tonal mix of jovality of the ruling classes & the weight of the 'small folk', giving us the spectacle & intrigue of royalty, never forgetting there's always a cost & usually it's those with less power who pay. A real palette cleanser.

Final puzzle progress for the week. It's getting there, but it's certainly taking a while!

Librarian PSA: You do not need to use this many sticky notes. Definitely don't leave them in your library book when you return it. #librarysky #booksky

Finally, answers! #booksky

The magpies are massing on this Monday morning. While I failed to get all three in shot at the same time, it was cool to see them all hopping about trying to get an early snack in.😊 #birdsky

I posted a video on YouTube about reattaching a book spine if you are interested in that kind of repair. I'm trying to make a collection of library and book repair shorts so it's worth checking out! #booksky #librarysky youtube.com/shorts/t2w2h...

That feeling of anxiety when you say "bless you" on the first sneeze and the person just keeps on going😅
