This is called Sailor Amazing. It was sent to me by my brother because he knows my love of Sailor Moon, lip syncing and men dressing as women. Evan here made all the scouts’ uniforms out of construction paper and duct tape. Some people are just naturally blessed with awesome talents!
My birthday was last Friday and I am reflecting on the wonderfulness! My bf gave me beautiful flowers and a brand new Chromebook for my Quick Pick Chair duties! There was cake and drinks and even a chiropractor visit. Remember everyone “How we spend our days is how we spend our lifes.” So true.
Summer Reading Kickoff Party! Snacks, buttons, bookmarks and water bottle volcanos! Before and the aftermath. My fingers smell like salt and vinegar chips! Fantastic!
Every planet!
I went on a little bit of a RuPaul tangent during our tumblarian BEA panel and Rachel had to reel me back in. But these gifs. THESE GIFS.
Come on people! This is too perfect!
People read books for different reasons. I respect that. Some read for comfort. And some of my former readers have said their life is hard, their mother is sick, their dog died, and they read fiction to escape. They don’t want to get hit in the mouth with something horrible. And you read that certain kind of fiction where the guy will always get the girl and the good guys win and it reaffirms to you that life is fair. We all want that at times. There’s a certain vicarious release to that. So I’m not dismissive of people who want that. But that’s not the kind of fiction I write, in most cases. It’s certainly not what Ice and Fire is. It tries to be more realistic about what life is. It has joy, but it also had pain and fear. I think the best fiction captures life in all its light and darkness.

WHEN I SOMETIMES FORGET ALPHABETICAL ORDER
I must sing the alphabet about 50 times a day in my head. Once I put a W before U on a book list and felt shame. SHHHHAAMMMMEEE!

I have only read 5 of these recommendations, but Infinite Jest is in progress and so many of these books are already on my infinite “to read” list.

Oh, just today’s reminder to take the LJ Tumblr survey, if you haven’t already.
Let me start by saying that I did the survey and you should too. Let me finish by saying most posts should have Drag Race gifs just like this one of Tammie Brown - fantastic work libraryjournal!
