Hobby Lobby's book selection is a who's who of white Christian bloggers/celebrities. 😳

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

An interesting, if preachy, read. What's weird is that technically, my husband, who has a security clearance, can't read this book because it discusses what Snowden leaked (secret info). So, even though it's now public and sitting in a public library, it's still considered classified to anyone who isn't specifically cleared to know that information. I can, since I'm a civilian, but strange, right?!

Um, I bailed. Sorry. (Good writing, but nope to the plot)

This old man brought a box of children's 45s into the library, thinking we could use them in our collection (yeah, no). Anyway, we kept them for crafts, but first weeded out the racially problematic ones. ☝🏼😳

Nate's to the age where a frank facts of life conversation is around the corner. So I've been finding different books/resources at work - this one is 👍🏼👍🏼. Though, the illustrations are ridiculously silly.

Being the school librarian has its benefits. Mainly, that I see donation piles before the kids ever do. #toss

1 AM reading - sleep is for losers (not really, I had a nap after my weekend shift). Woodson's writing is fabulous, but the novel structure made the voice hard to follow. I much prefer Brown Girl Dreaming.

So great to find a YA novel that I loved and didn't want to throw against the nearest wall.

I absolutely loved this picture book - it's full of beautiful, almost melancholy, watercolor illustrations. Peggy is a chicken who enjoys her home, but a strong wind carries her to the big city. She tries to find her way home, but enjoys what the city had to offer in the meantime: movies, people with colorful umbrellas, and the metro.

I love a good medical nonfiction book. This one explores the mystery of pellagra, a disease that decimated the south and poor industrial workers. Looking back, of course, doctors now know the solution is simple: eat meat and vegetables. What I found most interesting is that pellagra was the result of a place decimated by the economics of slavery and sharecropping (my grandfather picked cotton as a sharecropper's son).

This trashed copy got weeded at work and I snatched it up, realizing I had never read it.

I should be reading the new HP, but this book is so beautiful. The baby bear wakes up from hibernation and discovers the world around him and its colors. So, so lovely.

Liking this so far. Many of the essays are lost on me as I'm not a huge SF reader, but I appreciate her solid writing on feminism.

Another gem from work. This book touts the Duck Commander tv show and how their awesome homemade food makes their family and faith stronger. And then you read the ingredients: 7up and bisquick. 😂

How have I not read this?! I brought it home from work, knowing only that it was popular and about a teenager. Then I picked it up and discovered it's about a Muslim girl who dreams of being a superhero Taylor Swift. Love being surprised with an excellent book, comic or not.

At my in-laws and the decoration of choice is Christian fiction. The titles! 😬😭🙄

First vacation read. #ohio

Was having a grand time reading this, when I discovered the last library patron had ripped the last page out?!???

Just started getting this subscription and I love getting a magazine where I can burrow into my couch and read for a solid couple of hours. Great writing and fantastic articles.

I cannot believe this book exists. #booksifindatwork #publiclibrary #didfeminismevenhappen

I've read several new feminist books this year and this one is my favorite so far. Irreverent, but wickedly sharp and on-point. Highly recommend.

Bailed on two awful books this weekend before finally loving this one. It's snappily written, but still deftly goes into the history and societal context of Dr. Mutter's work as a surgeon (he was among the first to see patients as people, not cases).

I'll admit, I brought this from work for my son, and then I'm the one who read it giggling.

I read this book in under an hour, but really liked it. It's a childhood memoir told in short bits, drawings, and sentences that aren't necessarily connected. And it worked. It reminded me of my own childhood where bits of memory flit and flow. Recommend.
