Tell us how you really feel about politics, Joe Hill.

What? No way, me too!

I'm three stories into A Lot Like Christmas and I'm just after putting up the Christmas tree, I'm wondering where I can find Miracle on 34th Street, and I'm tempted to pull up a very old Christmas playlist to listen to while finishing the book. Who am I and what has Connie Willis done with my Scrooge-like exterior?

"Here's a thing I believe about people my age: we are the children of Hogwarts, and more than anything, we just want to be sorted."

Best misleading title of the week. #talesfromacquisitions

"Potentially lethal toddlers". So... toddlers?

TFW you think you've found the perfect brain candy campfire read and now you're having an existential crisis in the woods.

Two chapters in and I've learned the word sprachgefühl just to find out that I don't have as much of it as I thought. Darn you, language!

"In a matter of a few days, I was starting to feel comfortable there, and starting to feel very fortunate to live in a time when we not only have cell phones but also have places where we lose cell phone service." #yesthis #wanderlust #nps100

"The way mutinies actually happen", per John Scalzi.

Settling in for the evening with a long (and hopefully excellent) book!

Life imitates art imitates life.

Working on a Sunday is lame, but a break in the courtyard is not! #sundaylibrarian

"Quick! I need a joke about this book!"
"It's a good thing that pterodactyl is carb-free!"

"If you try getting through this book and decide it's a bunch of crap, you can go back to your sucky life." Am I being negged by a self-help book?

Me this afternoon:
-looks at calendar- "Oh crap, I have book club tomorrow??"
-looks at book's page count- "Oh, nevermind, that's fine."

This book is way sadder than I was anticipating. Hoping it earns its place on the Goodreads humor list in the second half...

Loving my awesome new library book club! #booksforthebold #willowbranchlibrary

Finished this book in a day. Will be thinking about this book for weeks.

Super excited to dive into this!

Trying out a new toy... #serialreader

Any book that tells me I'm a scientist in the introduction is already my friend.

Great ideas: taking a book about creepy things that live outside on a camping trip. #whatsthatnoise #ohgodwereallgonnadie

Enjoying an excellent talk by Mark Woods at my library!

Getting some reading in on a weirdly quiet trick or treat night...

"And cargo shorts and flip-flops." Does Connie Willis know my husband?

I'm finding three-year-old episodes of Welcome to Night Vale eerily prescient on the topic of politics.

"They throw so much shade that you have to use your flashlight app when you're around them."

Enjoying the weather and finally getting my Goldie on!

"Dogs are not allowed in the dog park. People are not allowed in the dog park." A perfect read for this very weird day.
