Its so frustrating. There’s such an unmet demand & publishing just keeps getting further from meeting it. My boys keep choosing Percy Jackson & MG sports books or adult nonfiction because the rep just isn’t there for them in YA

😂😂 aww!!

Me too 😂😂

Uh oh, for the last year Ive said “if Pandora snuggles any of the foster kittens we’ll know that’s the one to keep”

This is dangerously close to a snuggle & this is not the kitten I wanted to keep bcuz she is too smart & still a smidge feral. She’s gonna give us a run for our money if we keep her 😂

Pennsylvania retained our Dem majority Supreme Court today!!!! More good news!

Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz Reuniting for Fourth ‘Mummy’ Movie Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are reuniting for a fourth "Mummy" movie.

Oh my god, finally good news! variety.com/2025/film/ne....

She is certainly presenting a strong case!

Our current foster kitten is doing her best to befriend our senior kitty Pandora. & Pandora is doing her best to tolerate this encroachment on her territory 😂

This is the first foster kitten (of 25 over the year) that she has tolerated on the bed with her lol. Progress

Look at my new holiday sweaters 😂❤️

I like that idea. We get a small amount too

I’ve decided not to give out candy this year. It’s too expensive & I think the kids get more candy than they can eat

This year I’m doing packs of stickers & Pokémon cards (the cards are extras my partner has bought but doesn’t need lol)!

In my first year or so as a school librarian a student told me I “was just like Andy Dufresne” in how I came in & revitalized the library

It was one of the quirkiest & sweetest compliments I’ve gotten

😂. I just bought a Princess donut ugly Christmas sweater. I’m unreasonably excited about it

I’m trying to get myself back into social media but no matter which platform I try it’s just all bad news, all the time

I don’t think I can function if my brain is being constantly flooded w bad news.

Frustrating. I miss the sense of community I used to get out of socials but phew it’s rough

😂😂

From what I’ve seen it’s about 30% who don’t regain, 30% who regain some, & 30% who gain back all or more

To be fair, though, ppl usually regain lost weight after stopping any method used to lose it anyway, so glp1s don’t seem to have worse results than other methods

I’m binging The good Wife (it’s really good, if you haven’t seen it I highly recommend! It’s like suits but more political) & discovered Pedro Pascal has recurring roll through seasons 1 & 2 (so far)

Oh my god I JUST purchased like $1000 worth of manga last week, sooo mad I didn’t wait till this week 😂😂

😂😂😂

LISA!! You told Rain about the secret impact margaritas have on me!!! 😂😂

Just to be clear, this is in reference to collection organization! Ie there are no Dewey police & it’s ok to try new things when organizing collections!

No it references collection organization… ie it’s ok to try new things, there are no Dewey police!

Hey there! Will you let me know if you do end up doing a dinner tonight?

I’m so excited to have gotten an ARC of Soman Chainani’s upcoming YA book, Young World.

It sounds like a book that my high school students are going to love, & which will be very easy for me to booktalk (bcuz it sounds so good!)

& I’m tickled to find page 1 starts in St. Louis, MO! #aasl
