🗽📚💓📚........🚌🤓🎧❣ #BookExpo19 #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks #Audiobook

What better day to return to Litsy than while en route to BookExpo!!!

I'm on my way @MrBook & friends! Hope to see you there!!🤗
If you're there & 👀 me, please say hi🙋🏻‍♀️, as I've been away for a bit & might not recognize anyone lol.

This year I plan on doing #BookExpo19 differently, much more discussion panels & WAY less standing in book signing lines!!😅

DivineDiana Have fun! 5y
LiteraryinLawrence Have a great time! 5y
TheSpineView Hope we can meet up! 5y
MrBook I think I‘m going to be getting less books this time too. Then again, when I see free books, my addiction impulse kicks in! 😳😱😆🙈 5y

Mehso-so

🌮😋.....😒🎧📖 #Audiobook #YA #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks

The good news- food trucks at work today so I had tacos!😋

The NOT so good news- I really wanted to like this but both the story & narrator just didn't do anything for me. Extremely flat narration, & yes I get that that's kind of Leah's 'vibe', but there was no affect in the narrator's voice at ALL.😑
Or maybe #YA contemporaries aren't my thing?🤔

Oh well.🤷🏻‍♀️

On to the next!

MarticaMustRead I did @TheLudicReader and although I didn't LOve that one, I definitely enjoyed it more than this one. However, I completely adored 5y

🧙🏼‍♀️🔮🕯🐱📖 #WitchyReads #FallReads #Magic #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks #MiddleGrade

All alone at work this afternoon and it's SUPER quiet here sooo....

Jumping into this #Witchy treat while I've got an hour left to go before my 3day weekend starts! #TGIF 🤗

Gonna skip over 'Part One' & head straight to the sequel though. Part One (first half of book) is just a novelization of the movie - #WitchPLEASE, I just wanna get to the new story! 🧐🤪

Linsy Understood! I started to listen and got pretty disappointed... I hadn‘t read the fine print. 5y

????? #FallReads #CurrentRead #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks

#TGIF Littens! ?

Next up for review at work, my co-worker chose the newish #Historical novel 'Dear Mrs. Bird' while I opted for a buzz book fr last fall, 'The Immortalists.' We both wanted to pick books with "fall-like" vibes.?

I'm already a quarter of the way into mine & totally sucked in.
I love a multi-layered family novel & this one is fitting the bill quite nicely so far.?

Crazeedi Both good books!😊👍 5y
MarticaMustRead Good to hear @Crazeedi , thanks!😀 5y

My current view at work (we're on the 7th floor) and I think it's glorious & the perfect backdrop as I work & start listening to the latest Corman Strike installment❣🤗 #WorkPerks

I'm even looking forward to my drive home later thanks to Corman & Robin!🚦🚗🚚🚕🚛 🚓🚌😉

I get to review this beauty for work & I couldn't be happier about it❣
Started it earlier tonight & can already tell this is going to be a fabulous read.🤩 #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks

Read in an article that it took her ~7 yrs or so to write this bc she wanted to write it herself, there was no ghost writer & I'm so glad bc fr what I've read so far, she's a beautiful story teller. 💓

🤩🎧📚📚🤓📖 #YA #MentalHealth #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks #Diversity #BookishThings #BookishNews

This session on mental health in #YA was the panel I was most interested in & it did not disappoint.

5 different YA authors discussed the inspiration- most of it real life or #OwnVoices, behind their books & what they'd like to see more of in #YA in terms of mental health.

Very insightful & illuminating. 💗

Ugh--so many of these gems are on my #TBR (it never ends! Lol) , it's always like Christmas around here when a book order arrives❣🤗

🎧📖🤓 #Audiobook #AudioWalk #DiverseReads #Fantasy #LibrarianLife #WorkPerks

Solid 3🌟's.

Much like the diversity of produce that I saw at last week's farmer's market held in front of my work building, I thoroughly enjoyed the rich cultural diversity & expression in this well narrated audiobook. I only wish that Older had given us more exploration into the mysterious history & past of both Sierra's mom & her grandfather. I would've loved more!

CoffeeNBooks This is on my TBR list! 6y
MarticaMustRead In that case I'd recommend the audio version @CoffeeNBooks - the narrator does a great job and nailed NY accents !😊👍 6y
CoffeeNBooks @MarticaMustRead Great! I'll check it out. 6y
