The Midnight Library | Matt Haig

Woke up un-ready to face the day. Big changes at work have got me really down lately but I'm hoping a couple chapters of The Midnight Library might help me remember that I'm in charge of my life, even if it doesn't feel that way right now. #bibliotherapy

monalyisha Ugh! This is highly relatable! Good luck. ✨ 1y

ShyBookOwl @monalyisha oh no 😕 you too!! 1y

monalyisha @ShyBookOwl Lots of coworkers flying the coop. Most distressingly, my Director announced that she‘s retiring & I LOVE her. She‘s been a huge advocate for me. She kept us safe throughout the pandemic. She believes in me as a “Creative.” She‘s provided me with so much freedom. Since I don‘t have my Master‘s Degree, that‘s rare. I‘m worried that much of my happiness is directly tied to her, & that the upward momentum I‘ve gained is going to plateau. 1y

monalyisha @ShyBookOwl I‘m trying to stay positive but it took me almost 10 years to find a Library where I was truly happy…& I‘m so anxious that with her departure, I‘ll end up feeling like I need to start the search all over again. So much to unpack here but…problems for another day! 1y

monalyisha @ShyBookOwl I‘m sending you all the hope I can muster for your situation! 🍀 1y

ShyBookOwl @monalyisha Wow. First, I am so sorry. That's awful. Second... our stories are so similar. After worrying for so long that I'd never find a place that would make me happy long term, I found it. And a lot of that was also tied directly to a manager who truly believed in me and my happiness. And then in the blink of an eye, the company was sold and my manager disappeared practically overnight, along with everything else that I loved about it. 1y

ShyBookOwl @monalyisha it's a terrible feeling, to go from 4 years of knowing you're exactly where u should be to realizing you don't even know where you are. I really hope things work out for you and me both ❤ 1y

monalyisha @ShyBookOwl It really does seem like we‘re sharing the same space! Let me know if you ever need to chat. 💓 1y

monalyisha You can comment here anytime & I‘ll see it but also, feel free to email me. It‘s a gmail address: monalitsy. 📧 1y

ShyBookOwl @monalyisha It does, doesn't it?! Same to you. It's good to know ppl going through similar struggles. I'm always here too. And I'll send u a quick email so that you have my address too 😊 1y

BethM You got this! The pandemic taught me that work doesn‘t give me back as much energy as I give it so im focusing on sending more of my energy elsewhere. 1y

ShyBookOwl Very wise words @BethM . Thank you for sharing them 💙 1y

Suet624 I‘m so sorry to hear of your work issues. I hope something good comes out of it 1y

ShyBookOwl @Suet624 Thank you.. I hope so too. 1y

Leave Only Footprints: My Acadia-to-Zion Journey Through Every National Park | Conor Knighton

#bibliotherapy Do I need more books? No but does anyone else think they can absorb a book through osmosis? I promised my self that if I stayed calm through a difficult situation I would reward myself with a trip to the bookstore- and it worked!!!

Soubhiville Good for you! And of course you need more books, what a silly question! 2y

wanderinglynn Both of those books look interesting! 👍🏻 2y

GingerAntics I‘m about to start Wintering. I‘ve heard good things. 2y

Happy Father‘s Day to all the dads, stepdads, uncles, grandfathers, older brothers, and all types of father figures!

1. Frostpine from Tamora Pierce‘s Emelan books

3. This is an adorable picture book! ?
