The Nerdy Librarian

Library student from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I'll post class assignments, stuff about what I'm reading, and other book-related stuff here. Posts related to class will be tagged with the course number.

Birthday present book unboxing!!! Thanks to the lovely @the-battleflag

1) Finn Family Moomintroll

This book looks so cute, so good, so pure. And considering how many times she's called me deprived for not having read it as a kid... I'm just surprised it hasn't been a gift before now, LOL

2) Spinning Silver

I stared at this book for like ten minutes last weekend at the bookstore. Naomi Novik is a great writer, and Miryem sounds like a smart and sassy protagonist. Can't wait to read it!

3) Heart of Iron

I'm squealing like a fangirl right now - I ADORE Ashley Poston, and have previously reviewed Heart of Iron on this blog. It's one of my Top Reads of 2018, and this copy is not only gorgeous, it's signed! And comes with a poster! And purple edges!

how have i never heard of archive.org until today.. it’s an internet library that functions just like a real one, as in you borrow the books for 2 weeks and then they are returned to the archive. you can dl pdfs as well, but you’ll lose access after the 2 week period. it’s all free tho, literally just like a real library. i was searching for a cheap copy of this serial murder book from the 90s for my thesis and i found it for free on here. there’s like.. no gimmick at all? i’m so amazed. i literally just signed up and now i’m reading a super hq scan of this book for free. i love libraries.

from your friendly neighborhood librarian:

all books are good books.  you are not a “lesser reader” if you only read manga or comic books or a “better reader” for reading academic heavy texts.

reading is reading no matter what it is, be it a graphic novel, a romance, a classic, an audiobook, a picture book, a cookbook, fanfiction, fucking whatever, read what makes you happy

reading is supposed to be fun and don’t let elitism sap any joy out of it
