I had forgotten what a hot mess these characters were. Heathcliff needs to chill.

"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. I have read all Mrs. Radcliffe's works, and most of them with great pleasure. The Mysteries of Udolpho, when I had once begun it, I could not lay down again; - I remember finishing it in two days - my hair standing on end the whole time." Henry Tilney is my new favorite Jane Austen character.

We held a Curious George Storytime for the silly monkey's 75th Birthday. Art activities and hijinks ensued.

I've been thinking of the various films I have seen and the ones I didn't this year; or, why some stories work and why some don't. This has been a fun read and recommended for those interested in exploring the craft.

Started this on a whim and now I've acquired a handy flow-chart. I'm giggling like an idiot in between sections. #dying #justdying #honeybadgerwroteabook

#TBT When I met Mr. Nicholas Meyer at Warwicks for a book signing. He was wonderful and his stories about filming Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan made me giggle. Happy Anniversary Star Trek!

I had recommended this to one of my teens and I realized that it had been years since I had read it. It's just as amazing as I remember, possibly more so.

Still trying to finish Ghostwritten. Have been listening to A Bollywood Affair during my commute. #FridayReads

How I spent my lunch today. Or, sometimes you just want to ignore all the literary fiction you "should" be reading and just sit with a book about historical royal dramas.

Catching up with kids literature before my library's Summer Reading Program begins. Octavia Spencer wrote a kid's book? And did the audiobook narration? And it's actually fun and engaging? And it's highly recommend from yours truly for adventurous kids? And there's a second book? YES!

While I have read this book many times, this was the first time with the audio edition. Peter Kenny's narration is perfection. Apparently he has done Iain Banks's Culture books as well. So, I'll have to get those soon enough.

Have I mentioned how much I enjoy Mitchell? Cause I do. Really enjoying this one and I'm sad I haven't read it earlier.

On my radar for awhile and now I'm sad I waited for so long. Supernatural detectives in 19th century America? Yes, please, and thank you. Plus, Oh My God! this cover is gorgeous. Lovely audiobook for my drive to and from work.

So, I just want to take Adam Parrish out of this book and protect him. Or, I'm getting back into YA literature and I feel emotionally compromised.

Bloodline | Claudia Gray

I haven't read too many of the Star Wars books. Husband is my go-to source on extended material. He had recommended Lost Stars by Gray and I LOVED IT. This is just as good. Why couldn't parts of this been in Force Awakens? Action, politics, and Leia. I need more SW from Claudia Gray ASAP.

A fun book for any kid looking to explore the mystery genre. This is a debut novel and I hope the author continues to explore these characters in a sequel or series.

Best part about being a children's librarian? Seeing all the fun new picture books! Here are some great titles for young readers. Skunk on a String should be made into a Pixar short.

First post? Let's talk about one of my favorite books for Toddler Storytime. I like to read the proper parts with my fake British accent.
