I normally don‘t post non-book related stuff, but I am so excited that I had to share: I accepted a job offer today! My current place of work has been incredibly toxic, and I am so happy to get out. The only downside is I have to move my library to the living room b/c the job is remote and I will be putting my desk here. Now for the challenge of culling my books and moving all of this.

#newjob #library

Caterina Congratulations! 🎉 And good luck with the book moving! I hope you don't have to cull too many, you have such a lovely collection 😍 1y
Aims42 Congrats on the new job, nothing more exciting than leaving a toxic environment 🥳🤩🎉 1y
LiteraryinPA Congrats, that‘s so exciting! 1y

julesG Congratulations on your new job! 1y
Kristy_K @Caterina Thank you! And I hope I don‘t have to either! I‘m hopeful most will still fit. 1y
Kristy_K @Aims42 Agreed! It felt like a weight lifted from my shoulders when I signed the offer. 1y
Kristy_K @TEArificbooks haha! So true. I‘ll have to think about that. 1y
Kristy_K @dabbe Thank you! And I wish I could! I debated even putting my desk in my room just so I could keep my library here, but I know the cramped space would bother me. 1y
julesG A small/minimalist desk solution in front of the shelves is not an option? 1y
Kristy_K @julesG They‘re giving me two monitors, a laptop, and a docking station so I think it‘ll need a larger desk, but I‘ll look into the size required! 1y
julesG Could work on a small-ish desk. My son's desk is small, I'd say 32 inch by 20 inch and he has two monitors and a laptop, plus mouse and additional gaming keypad. It's crammed, but he refused getting a larger desk. I'd give it a try before moving the library. Maybe check Pinterest for WFH desk ideas? 1y
TheLudicReader Congrats on the new job. I would totally explore other desk options before moving all those books, though. 😂 1y
bthegood Congrats🥳 1y
MaureenMc Congratulations! 🎉 1y
DaveGreen7777 Congratulations on the new job! 🙌 1y
Kristy_K @TheLudicReader Thank you! Yes, it‘s looking to be quite the task to move them. @bthegood @DaveGreen7777 Thank you!! 1y

Not book related per se, but I'm really, really excited to finally leave the finance industry.

Pretty sure there's a bookstore trip happening tomorrow to celebrate. 🤓

I‘m thrilled to be working for Libro FM for the next month! If you don‘t know of them, they‘re the alternative to that other audiobooks company out there, but they share their proceeds with indie bookshops — who really need it right now. Sign up using the code SHOPBOOKSTORESNOW next week and you‘ll get two audiobooks for the price of one — as well as donating extra to indies!

Have been given a £15 #Waterstones gift card by my manager today as it was my last shift with her today, still got 2 to do though 😔. This was so unexpected as even though I have only been there for a couple of months everyone has been so nice but the job itself was just too stressful for me.
