Winner, winner! Too many great books to count, but SALT BONES and THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH come out on top. Thank you, Reading List Committee! #RUSAAwards

BAH thank you!

The Reading List is live! This year I was the Chair and it was a lot of fun. A lot of reading and my eyes feel like they've fallen out of my skull BUT all that said, I'm really proud of what we've done. Check out our final list in the press release below!

Happy birthday, babe!

I never related to anything more than hearing @crendor.bsky.social saying that he just wants to be a rat.

How to be a Beautiful Woman:

• eat whatever you want
• stay awake all night
• get dark circles around your eyes
• disregard "laws" & "authority"
• hiss at people
• grow a thick coat of fur
• nevermind, I'm talking about raccoons again

Alright taking my library advocate hat off - if you have questions about any of the other things I read and enjoyed this year lmk

Your library has so much to offer, both physically and digitally, and as our country continues to deteriorate they not only provide access to free materials but also need your support. Get your library card! See what it has to check out! And if you need help figuring out their apps, I can help!

Some of the things I checked out from my library this year:
- TONS of manga and comics
- eBooks and e-audiobooks (Amaz*n who?)
- 4K and BluRay movies (because streaming doesn't have everything!)
- books to up my clothing repair game

Of those books, I got 127 from my library! That's 66% of my reading. Only 7% of my reading this year came from books I purchased. Don't forget about how much your local library has to offer, all for freeeeee.
