I‘ve only gotten into audiobooks in the last two years or so, but the past few months they‘ve been big for me. I‘m surprised by this perfect balance, though.
Spotted at a local Barnes & Noble today. I‘m so glad they drew a Totoro 😍

First person I run into: Superhuman. You these people you just click with? They is one of those. I felt like 17 again.
Many great people, good talks about the state of the world, informative presentation and vegan food. I so, so needed that. 🏳️🌈
A highlight in my 2025 so far

I left a note on the board in the spare room at the library today. I hope they know how valued they are.
Other people could be doing that too, but no, they are too busy harassing them and banning books. 🙄
I might* not (but no guarantees) have ended up in this situation with another stack, had I brought a backup book with me while I wait, since I‘m close to finishing the book I‘m on (part of another stack I‘m close to finishing…)
Oh well. It‘s good to get books from the library while I still can. The book banning people who don‘t actually read are working hard at closing the libraries. 🙄
Another day, another petition to sign so this backwards, asinine, utterly embarrassing administration hears our voices! #ReadersAssemble

Mrs Dribbles has a blocked nose and I'm really worried about her.
Please send Pickles good luck. She saw vet this morning and may need investigating.
#RantTime
It was not really reported in the news today, but DOGE made its way to the IMLS office this morning. Changes in leadership this morning has also greatly concerned libraries and museums, given the rhetoric used by the newly appointed director.
As a former public librarian, and one with a library degree, I am absolutely devastated. Libraries are for everyone. Librarians are not to censor, pass judgment, or hide truths. We have a code ⬇️
Last post of #StartASpark for today.
Thought I should do another fun one for you. Take a quiz to see what board game matches u! Make u can make that game if u are up for it.

ARE ANY OF YOU GUYS HAVING TROUBLE POSTING ON HERE???? I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO POST FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS FROM MY LAPTOP AND IT JUST KEEPS GIVING ME AN ERROR WHEN I DO.
pickThis beautiful debut micro-memoir was loaned to me by a friend. I devoured it and returned it to her tonight. It doesn‘t exist in the Litsy database. The writer is a young Western Australian Aboriginal woman. I loved it. I hope it‘s just the beginning of Mabel Gibson‘s writing career.
