Last night of vacation. I went to the belfry of Ghent and they were selling copies of this book in the gift shop. @swantower.bsky.social

This might be my first trip where I have no books. I have 6 new ebooks to review on NetGalley, plus a number of e library books and audiobooks. Plenty of things to read and I’m having fun but it still feels like something is missing. My bag is not heavy enough.

Madam, I was reading that.

Angry squirrel is back to chitter at me.

Houston has a museum district and it means it. Affordable access to all kinds of art is one of the city's best features. 🔗

When you are riding your bike to work and see a hawk, it’s necessary to stop and take a picture.

Garden friends! I found a hungry anole eating a bug. Super camouflage!

I’m gardening hard today, and I’ve been listening to the audiobook version while pulling weeds, and now I need a rest and im excited to pick up the paperback edition and continue the story with a cup of tea. @gabriellabuba.bsky.social

I’m working in my garden, pulling weeds and overgrown invasive vines. I pulled this dead wood out of the debris and I saw this frog. He’s all wood, fused to the body of the limb, formed from the fractured growth of another branch. I am certain that he was once a real frog, now enchanted by fairies.

@nicwilson.bsky.social I am finally reading your book and you are an incredible storyteller! Your prose is beautiful. I’ve been reading outside on my bench swing in my mostly weeds garden space all evening and just had a visitor from a noisy squirrel.

Tillie’s response to recommend a short book: The Library of Babel by Jorge Luis Borges

Getting into the middle of this book and I need my emotional support cat. Billy, aka Bilbo Baggins is a TNR failure. We thought he was a feral but after we trapped and neutered him, we tried to release him and he wouldn’t leave. @mjkuhnbooks.bsky.social

The weather is starting to be less hot, so I’m back outside on my reading swing with Huckleberry and a new book! Really looking forward to this one! I only had to read 9 pages before the first mentioning of a cats! @mjkuhnbooks.bsky.social

It’s hard to get a photo of my cats with my current reading material when it is in ebook format, but since the dedication page in “The Witness for the Dead” says “This book is dedicated to all the librarians I know.” I decided I should make an effort.

Just got home from ArmadilloCon! So much excitement happened but now Huckleberry is excited to be posing with my current read: Activation Degradation by @marinalostetter.bsky.social

Congratulations to @adapalmer.bsky.social from me and all of my cats!

It’s too hot to go outside and read but I can still read indoors and pose my current book next to a cat! @natania.bsky.social

It’s too hot to be outside but sometimes I just need to spend time in the my outdoor space. Plus I have a new book! @Natania

Whitby vacation photo.

Some places I just don’t want to leave. #WhitbyAbbey

There are over 50 books on my kindle, but I still can’t figure out how to use it with my new Egyptian alphabet bookmark. Paired with tea and a lemon bun.

What do librarians do on vacation? We visit other libraries! Chained library at Hereford Cathedral and dragon marginalia from one of the manuscripts in Worcester cathedral library!

And don’t forget the OG LLMs, the dictionaries!

I didn’t have grey hair before I had children.

Someone was naughty at the vets office and now she has to be dosed with gabapentin before they will see her again. #CatShaming

This book is so intense I didn’t even want to stop reading it to take a picture. But the cats sometimes demand my attention. Maybe Daisy wanted to distract me so that she could have a turn staring at the Raven.

Huckleberry always shows up for cuddles when I am trying to read. He just wants me to open the book so he can lie down on the pages. @emilytesh.net

A handful of dedicated Gazan women are risking their lives to save the priceless medieval manuscripts of Al-Omari www.newarab.com/features/ins...

Daisy and I are starting a new book! So far it is awesome! @nnedi.bsky.social

New book, new beverage.

I would love to post a photo of my latest read with all five of my rescued cats, but anyone who knows cats knows about their feelings on cooperation or their feelings on being in close proximity to other cats. So instead I have posed the book next to my largest cat, Maclunkey.

I passed my capstone project for library school and I am graduating in may! So I have a new book to celebrate. #careergoals #librarians

I don’t know if there is more interest in the books I am reading or my cats, but here is my old, blind, snuggly, sweet orange boy with my next read. @adapalmer.bsky.social

Curled up with my cat and a book. Nothing like plotting capers on the moon to distract from earthly worries.

Duchess Matilda Catherine St. Gertrude. Also known as Tilly. Mostly known as Mama Cat, even though her kittens were all adopted. She has found her happy place

When your garden is a complete disaster of dead plants and one of your friends from college writes an awesome history book, ask, what would Machiavelli do? I’m not a historian so I have no idea but my guess is not gardening. Tilly the cat agrees. @adapalmer.bsky.social

I needed a bookmark but the closest item at hand was a beanie baby crab.

We are expecting freezing weather so I am preparing by huddling under a blanket indoors with a book and a cat. @juliavee.bsky.social @kenbebelle.bsky.social

Taking a break this morning. I chose this book for the Storygraph reads the world challenge for Kenya. And yes I am using a ruler as a bookmark.

I have no book as I was trying to pull weeds and overgrown vines from the garden while listening to Age of Myth by Michael J Sullivan on audiobook. Duchess Matilda Catherine decided to supervise my work and make sure I hydrated.

I started this book during the season of Imbolc. If you want to know how it’s going, I just skipped over to Samhain. I spent the whole weekend on a grad school assignment but now it’s done and I can relax and reflect on nature, while ignoring weeds.

Last night of vacation and I’m starting a new book that I picked up at a used bookstore right before my trip. I’ve got a folded torn up tourist map for a bookmark and a complimentary nightcap from the hotel to go with it!
