During a girls’ weekend, a friend gave me more book-themed stickers. Too pretty to use! #booksky

Recently read my 100th book of 2025. Will be curious to see how many I end up finishing by the end of the year #booksky

I’ve definitely been feeling underpaid lately 😅 #booksky #library

Tonight I reserved a place for a weekend book retreat with friends. Just the three of us in a random city, in a cute little loft, with some books on our TBRs. The countdown starts now #booksky

Take a day to breathe, and to read. (This message is approved by Blueberry.) #nampa #idaho #booksky #bookstore

All I want to do is read, responsibilities be damned #booksky

I love supporting indie bookstores, makes me feel better about spending money on more books #booksky

Read a book. Read another book. And then read some more. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Some people stop reading a book before the final chapter because they don’t want it to end. Conversely, today I set down a book for a couple hours because I didn’t care about what might happen next #booksky

This month I “only” finished eight books, which is the lowest per month total that I’ve read since July 2023. Really I’m a nerd for my reading stats and am just happy I found time to read at all #booksky

💙📚 Someone asked me this today, and it STRESSED ME OUT enough to make this handy graphic that I will save on my phone so that this travesty of a conversation never happens again. #booksky

Moving this weekend. Adding more bookshelves to my new place so I no longer have to store half my books as piles in the corner of my living room 🤦🏻‍♀️ #booksky

Spending the weekend in NYC and saw a great reminder for this Pride month and every month #booksky #library

Overheard some high schoolers talking at the #library the other day. Teen 1: where do you read, wattpad or AO3? Teen 2: fan fiction dot net And so the tradition continues 😊

Need to get the wrinkles out of one of my favorite library-themed shirts. Happy Pride! #booksky

No matter how you pronounce it, I hope you come visit your local library often #booksky

Weeding my personal bookshelves is so much harder than weeding my library’s collection #booksky

Finally getting around to reading two books that I kept pushing out on my #library holds list since last year. Here’s hoping they don’t disappoint #booksky

51% through a book on Libby and 27 hours until it’s due. I’ve never cut things so close 😅 #booksky #library

These book-themed stickers are so cute! #booksky

My urge to regularly place library and Libby books on hold wars with my anxiety over the ticking clock of due dates #booksky

I think I’ve done this once in the 15+ years of my TBR list and it was to remove some classics or biographies that I know I’ll never be in the mood to pick up. If that ever changes, great, but my TBR is long enough as it is 😅

Diversify what you read, support marginalized authors and books

One of my favorite superpowers at the circulation desk, but then I feel bad when I only remember the face and not the name 😅

Book bans deny us our right to learn about our identities and read about different perspectives.

All I want to do is curl up in some cozy blankets with some good books #booksky

(That's not the reason we should oppose book bans! Book bans are bad because 1. access to information is essential to democracy, and 2. challenges overwhelmingly target LGBTQ+, POC, and marginalized writers, further marginalizing those groups. Just wanted to dispel the myth that bans -> sales.)

I find Audiobook Discourse somewhat exhausting, but I nonetheless decided to weigh in on it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=80SC...

Same with Young Adult and New Adult 😬

My StoryGraph Wrap-up for 2024. Already excited for 2025. #booksky #storygraph

And if you’re going through the effort to get a library card anyway, you might as well use it. Circulation stats on item check outs and library resources help our funding, too

Halfway through my holiday books for the season. Just like with holiday movies, some are awful and some are the perfect amount of saccharine #booksky #RomanceBooks

This is why I keep a nerdy spreadsheet of the books I read. Still forget most things about them, but at least I remember how I felt reading them 😅

Audiobooks are books. Graphic novels are books. As long as you’re paying attention to what’s happening in the story, congratulations you’re reading #LibrarianThoughts

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!
