The worst thing about being a librarian is that sometimes you want books that can't be bought to the little library you work at. And then you have to let a whole bunch of colleagues at the big library know that you read Chinese fantasy smut. I have just had it confirmed by an email that a third specific person has been involved, and I wish they would stop following up, I don't want to know who else knows okay? Let me be blissfully unaware.
#I thought it was over#I made a request#it was forwarded by one colleague to another one and I was informed of this#two books were bought no comment#I asked about it#the rest were bought#I wasn't notified but I saw it so no matter#and today I get an email from a third colleague writing#“I bought the rest but forgot to tell you. I see you found them anyway.”#I feel mortified#I love the cover of the fourth Heaven Official's Blessing#but it does reveal exactly what kind of books I'm reading#personal#my post#I take comfort in the fact that several of the books are checked out and people are queuing for them#I made this sacrifice for all of these people#the worst part is I want to try reading erha#I am dreading the exchange#I'm gonna ask for a loan from another region on this#or maybe I'll chicken out and just buy it#even though I know I'm not gonna keep it and it goes against my environmental convictions and it costs money#hmm
