And if you’re going through the effort to get a library card anyway, you might as well use it. Circulation stats on item check outs and library resources help our funding, too

Halfway through my holiday books for the season. Just like with holiday movies, some are awful and some are the perfect amount of saccharine #booksky #RomanceBooks

This is why I keep a nerdy spreadsheet of the books I read. Still forget most things about them, but at least I remember how I felt reading them 😅

Audiobooks are books. Graphic novels are books. As long as you’re paying attention to what’s happening in the story, congratulations you’re reading #LibrarianThoughts

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

Use the SIFT method before believing a source: Stop & consider whether you recognize the source Investigate the expertise of the source Find other trusted sources to confirm or dismantle any stated fact Trace claims/quotes back to original sources in case they have been misconstrued
