My next journal making adventure?
The studio has been quiet over the last year: a new job, new city, new cats & senior cats, the side hustle, the whole being a queer professional book nerd in the US right now, but! We’re getting our new routines down and finding pockets of time for making!

Lovesick Falls by Julia Drake is a work read. Honestly I clicked HOLD without reading the description then learned it’s an As You Like retelling! I’m a sucker for Shakespeare retellings (do I STILL quote 10 Things I Hate About You? Perhaps…). #yafiction #teenfiction #lovesickfalls #booknerdery

It’s National Poetry Month and all but, I struggle with poetry. It’s just not for me. But, I have stumbled across some delightful novels-in-verse recently.
I am finding the visual structure of (S)kin both clever and breathtaking. It only took me 275 pages to realize what the author was doing…

“Thank you for believing I might be someone worth bleeding for.”
I really should be reading for this year’s Mock Printz committee, or finishing that non-fiction book, I can so far describe as fae fantasy historical romance meets Hunger Games, and really, how could I resist? #therosebargain

Our first Pi Day food attempt was foiled by kittens with 0 respect for geometry. Bu we regrouped on day 2, salvaged the scraps, and made an even bigger cake!

Trying to make monthly Sunday Crafternoons a thing. The March Sunday Crafternoon will be paper flowers!
You can take your creations home or, if you have fines, donate them to the branch for decorating and have your fines waived.

Speaking of love, it’s also Library Lovers’ Month!
Also, underfunded (like most of us) and got discarded materials? Then you have free supplies for decorations! #libraryloversmonth #librarylife #librarydisplay

We’re all struggling with the news. But until I’m forced to stop, I’ll keep working to create safe and welcoming spaces for everyone. Our Teen Coloring Zone has been popular so I just gave it a February refresh. The love puns gave a glimmer of happiness.

This past year I was on the Mock Printz award committee at work. Yesterday we voted on our winner, which will be announced on 1.31 (actual Printz award announced 1.27). Pick the Lock was in our running, did it make it…?!
