Oooooh TBR

It’s on a Saturday to force us to rest, right? Right!????

Y’all, it’s finally my turn with the audiobook and I think this is a binge. This book is bonkers! Most unique plot in a long time. Might have to reread before returning 🤯

This would bring in a whole new group of customers who couldn’t previously commit because they wouldn’t be living in the same place long enough for the investment to break even. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Watch list!!! I love this entire cast.

NYC bodegas are special places, and some are getting a little more literary.

Ciera Burch pays tribute to the librarians who offered her a safe space as a young person and the knowledge that she was fully seen, in her forthcoming middle grade novel, ‘Olivia Gray Will Not Fade Away’ buff.ly/NIjSp4y

Ahhhhh, how I’ve missed her books! New release is already making me laugh out loud. #TBR #RomCom #Hotreads

TBR! TBR!!!

I’m loving the updated Common Sense Media lessons but they don’t meet MN legal requirements for accessibility! Every single slide deck has to be updated with font size and alt text on the images. It’s better than starting from scratch but also will take several day to get them all teacher ready.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Post the: Last movie you saw 🎬 Last game you played* 🎮 Last show you watched 🖥 Last song you listened to 🎶

Name your favourite book-to-movie film … someone already said Jane Austen adaptations, but my favorite is Pride & Prejudice and Zombies. Surprisingly well done. The audience clapped and cheered the whole way through!

My first time holding my new book!! 🥹🤓 You can preorder MOTHERS OF INVENTION to tell my publisher I deserve a big marketing push 🙏🏽

Always grateful to be featured in my hometown newspaper! www.pressrepublican.com/news/award-w...

Today I testified at the MN Senate Education Finance Committee Hearing about the impacts of the ICE Metro Surge in School Libraries across Minnesota. My testimony on behalf of ITEM membership starts at 40:30 and Hennepin County Public Library is immediately after. tinyurl.com/266xukmn

Dorothy Porter was a librarian at Howard University where she took a small collection of donated materials by and about Black Americans and curated it for 40 years into the 180,000 item Moorland-Spingarn Research Center. #BlackHistoryMonth www.historians.org/perspectives...

My 16yo said my queso-birria tacos were, and I quote, “phenomenal” 🤩 so if anyone needs me, I’ll be over in a corner crying happy tears 😂😭

I would like my refund rolled into my tax return, pretty please. I suppose it’s too much to ask for the money to go to the end customers who actually paid it, as opposed to the companies who just rolled it into higher prices… and will likely not lower them much even after all the dust settles.

If I hear the word “corridor” one more time, I’m going to throw up. It’s a HALLWAY. Is this some unwritten rule that copy editors insist on running “find and replace”? I am 100% certain that the future’s technobabble will never use that word.

Excellent reminder!

Can confirm.

Thanks for seeing us 😢🥶❤️

I was reminded today of why I am a librarian and not an English teacher. We have totally different tastes in books. I don’t care how many awards and literary merits a book has. If it’s boring, it’s boring. And I will not recommend it to today’s kids! 🥱

I really want to listen to the audiobook but I might just have to buy a hard copy. #TBR

It’s gonna hit 18 degrees in MN today! Might finally be time to crack open a 🍺 and burn some 💩 in a big FU sendoff to “icy” January

February self care goal - stop doom scrolling and read some physical books. #TBR #Sci-Fi #ReadingBlackout

I am currently eating breakfast pizza and grapes out of a Dollar Tree holiday bucket. How are you celebrating?

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”

So much love for @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social

This weekend, I also published this piece on how the ICE presence has terrorized Minneapolis schoolkids. One teacher described it as a "generational trauma":

I bought the Lady Astronaut series from this store and am currently finishing Book 4! Sci-Fi is keeping me from spiraling into doom scrolling.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Oh honey, bless your heart, you’ve been doing this for over a month now. So long that all the stores in the metro have endcap displays of goggles, hand warmers, N95, whistles, and all sorts of other safety items for EXACTLY THIS PURPOSE. I had time to graphic design and ship my protest sign.

Captured the vibes on the ground perfectly.

Minnesota is the best of us.

Just special ordered my copy through Black Garnet Books in St. Paul! #shoplocal #TBR

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

Celebrating making it through Wednesday by eating chocolate chips straight out of the bag.

Supporting small businesses is an easy way to be impactful in your communities during this difficult time. Stop in at Chimborazo in Northeast Minneapolis for some yummy Ecuadorian food! #minneapolisstrong

Adding to TBR

I've never asked for followers, but I'm doing so now because if I can get 1K follows on Instagram I'll be able to livestream in the event I suffer or witness MAGA enforcement wrongdoing. I don't post often there, and when I do it's mostly dog pics. www.instagram.com/gregvaneekho...

We Minnesotans benefit with the integration of Minitex eLibrarymn.org collections, in addition to school- and district-owned resources. 🙌

This looks AWESOME 👏

2026 New Year’s #resolutions, care of the lazy Bellm pets: ✅ sleep more ✅ read more ✅ eat & drink less ✅ slam doors on things and people who don’t bring you joy, like politics, complainers, freeloaders, sexist / misogynist / all the -ists ✅ save 💵 a girl can dream 😂

Got two 👑 redone at the dentist today. New doctor, had to ask for more novocaine FOUR TIMES. Redhead novocaine tolerance is real! #1 - bottom crown, I can still feel it #2 - top crown, I can still feel it! #3 - bottom again, the nub hurts!!! #4 - 1 hr later during fitting, “let’s just try it” NOPE
