On the subject of burning books
On the subject of burning books
This morning I looked up how far away Spotylvania County is from my house: 48 miles. I did this after reading this article regarding a recent Spotyslvnia County School Board meeting where an elected official stated that they wanted to burn books so kids could never read them. To me, statements like these belong in 1938 Germany, or in 1478 Spain, not in 2021, 48 miles away. I have not yet read…

The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins
The Wife Upstairs by Rachel Hawkins
Jane has secrets. Secrets she doesn’t want the wealthy women of Birmingham, Alabama knowing anything about as she walks their posh pets, trying to establish a new life for herself. These housewives have everything Jane has always envied: money, wealth, glamour, and stability, things that have eluded Jane as she has been passed from one bad foster home to another. When handsome, wealthy, widow…

I got real personal on my blog fancylibrarian.com. Goodbye to a year that unfortunately taught me a lot of things I might never have learned otherwise. Happy New Year, light and ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CJd66pHp_PZhi-3Cuan06Xfxy-DcBvVfXtYeOc0/?igshid=1slykz14q7bd5
Adios, 2020. May we never meet again.

“I am afraid someone I know will get sick. I am afraid I will get sick. Fear and disease permeate me everyday. And yet, I must keep going. All I have is hope and some days I feel foolish holding onto that.How do you be a leader when you’re afraid?We are not going to emerge from this the same as before, everything has changed and some things are gone. Maybe all that will be left are the things…

“At the Library” watercolor by @ariadelsole 📚❤️ the magic of a child finding themselves inside a library is so inspiring to me, my experience as an eight year old reading my first Judy Blume book in the corner of a library gave me a love of reading & libraries. Now making sure that all children who come to my library have this same opportunity is what drives me to work hard everyday. Hanging this above my desk tomorrow❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CG6HlIlpDdX/?igshid=155pi5tdnf14h
Sorry y’all I got hacked. 😘 hopefully problem solved!

Reading in the time of Coronavirus
Reading in the time of Coronavirus
Currently I am 20 books behind schedule!
The last few years I have participated in Goodreads annual reading challenge, where you set a goal of number of books to read and Goodreads tracks your progress throughout the year, letting you know if you’re behind or ahead of schedule. It’s a great way to track what you read each year, and let’s be honest, an opportunity to show off to your friends…

Hope: A Library
We librarians often like to talk about the library as a place. A place for people to gather regardless of belief or opinion or whether you have pocket change; a place for people to learn. All are welcome.
When sharing this concept of the library as a place with friends, family, colleagues from other departments in past and generally get the same response. A friendly smile and nod of the head,…

Jacket design by Pete Garceau; cover shown with permission from Penguin Random House
One of the fears I have is that I will get to the end of my life to find that I never reached my potential. I beat myself up because I tell myself I could do better in certain areas, but then I quit because I’m not improving or progress seems slow. Setting goals and then being discouraged when they are not…

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin
You know everything you need to know about a person from the answer to the question, “What is your favorite book?”
Finally! A book for book-people! Just kidding, all books are for book-people, but you’ll forgive me for being especially fond of a novel whose subject is a quirky book-seller and in which each chapter begins with a review of a real book. Oh, and the story is wonderful as well.

What I Read January 2019
What I Read January 2019
I finished off 10 books in January, some of them great, some of them meh-okay-ish. I also did not finish 3 books that I got a good bit into before deciding to give up because I just wasn’t that into them. I’m a big beliver in not wasting time reading books that you’re not enjoying, to me it ruins the experience and puts me in an anti-reading rut, when reading is meant to be a pleasure! Here are…

The Book of Joy by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu
This is an absolutely beautiful book by two of the greatest spiritual leaders of our time, and, so charming: they are close, loving friends! The book is a conversation that took place over several days between the two on how Christianity and Buddhism handle the stress and strain of daily living. Many of the tenants of the two beliefs…
