I had no idea that museums couldn’t didn’t have that access until my public library started getting requests from our natural history museum! Sadly, we can only access so much. 😓

1. If you've ever used a small book your reading (book with hands)
2. As a bookmark for a bigger book you're reading (little book in big book with hands)
3. You might be a book person... (character hugging books)
4. Or have ADHD...but it's probably both(character sitting on a large pile of books)

How fun! Stopped in a Madrid bookstore where I ended up talking with a bookseller about the wonderful @dreugeniacheng.bsky.social and @antonhur.com books they had on display and she when she found out I am a librarian she asked for recent favorites to stock. 😍 #booksky

I think so too. Like the line between cozy and comforting is really blurry and what helps us can be so different!

That's a wrap on MY FATHER'S LIBERATION by Jung Ji-ah, an ironic take on the afterlife of communist partisans in postwar South Korea for HarperVia books, coming sometime in late 2026.

And thinking about it, I believe I misspoke. I’m pretty sure the mouse does not have a specified gender.

Isn’t he so cute???

You begin as an earnest mouse with a sword that rolls into bosses and bounces around off their segments. Doing damage Breakout style. It’s a lot of fun, has a heartwarming type story of trying to discover why the giant beasts are ravaging the land and you gather other animal friends along the way.

Hmm… I think the last cozy-ish one I played on switch was cozy grove, where you try and help a bunch of bear ghosts finish the tasks they needed in life. An older one that has pinball based combat is Beast Breaker.

Right? I was floored.

(Coming back was rather less fun as I got to discover that my friends’ friends are racist towards Koreans and, when my friend pointed out I’m half they essentially doubled down and said I’m not THAT kind. They’d know. Gross. And then continued so I put my headphones in.)

Went to a festival in Alcalá with my friends today and it was very much like going to a medieval fair. I had great mead and meats and saw people crafting fun things and just had a lovely time wandering around photographing random things and seeing Cervantes’ house.
