Our director is at the NYLA conference. Last time she brought back a whole bunch of ARCs for staff to take. Hopefully she does this again 👀 That's how I found one of my favorite books of last year!

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing
I'm handing out full-sized Reese's cups and Hershey bars. Gave a kid a Reese's and she was like, "Can I get two?"

I said, "No," because I want to make sure I have enough to go around, so she huffed and walked off 😂
People keep tossing their library card on the counter when they check out books. Should I start tossing it back? I probably won't because I'm too much of a chicken, but I would really like to 👀

I need dads to do better. This lady came up to get a library card and she was holding her baby. Her husband just stood there and watched her struggle to get her ID out of her wallet and hold the baby. Didn't even offer to help 🙄

Wow, okay. Listening to the live city council debate and all 4 candidates are in favor of across-the-board layoffs and are basically turning city employees into the villains. As a city employee, I can't bring myself to vote for any one of them 🤮
When the clerks are short staffed and we can't shelve books, and they start to pile up behind the circulation desk, I'll sing "Too Many Books," in the tune of "Too Many Cooks."

Shipment 1 of 2 has arrived. We're going full-sized candy bar this year for #Halloween.
It's gonna be, like, 80° out today! Time for some porch reading! We just cut down our hydrangeas, so the view isn't as pretty as usual.

Currently reading: Moshi Moshi by Banana Yoshimoto.

So it's technically Sunday. I did so much housework on Saturday that I listened to an entire 10 hour audiobook 😂

If your library offers Universal Class, there are a ton of paranormal-themed classes for Spooky Season! They have Cryptozoology 101, Paranormal Investigation 101, Haunted Places, Paranormal Romance Writing, and more! 👻

I'm just salty because I had to go to work today. I was really looking forward to the Rapture.
I haven't read or watched Apothecary Diaries, so I can't compare.
I think her position as a healer is an integral part of who she is as a person, even though it might not be the main focus of the series. I think the fantasy and romance aspects are the main plot, so you could go either way, really.
I've watched the anime, and I currently own the manga (but haven't read it all yet). The main character is a pharmacist who falls in love with a prince after she treats him for poison. She ends up training to become an herbalist for the royal court.
OMG, I just saw someone post on FB, "For the Epsteinth time..." And I LOL'd.
Every time I go to a record store, I look for Portraits by Maribou State. I came across their most recent album the last time I went to Syracuse, and I came across this one at an HMV in York, England.

Kingdoms in Colour by Maribou State
It was Earworm Records in York, England. Small, but a great selection.
I'm always looking for their albums when I'm in a record store. This is the first one I've ever come across! I think I might just have to buy the others I want online.

I almost yelled, "Oh shit!" when I found it, but caught myself just in time 😂
Picked up Melody A.M. by Röyksopp at Rough Trade East in London. What a great record store! This album was a favorite of mine in high school. I think I first heard it maybe a few years after its 2001 release.

Rough Trade labeled this vinyl an "essential" 😁

Thank you 😊
Spent the last week in England, where we hit up a few record stores. FINALLY came across an Efterklang album in the wild 🙌

I love these guys.

Piramida by Efterklang
Oh, man 😂 It's going exactly how I hoped it would in the comments.
