On my calendar! Sorry I didn't make it today but I'm busily compiling right now (even though hashtag search isn't cooperating very well). Chaotic IT upgrades yesterday at the library. #ewgc

You're welcome. I need to figure out how to make sure the chatters' names appear in a spreadsheet downloaded by someone other than me. #ewgc

part of me still can't believe the East Wing was completely destroyed and there have been no negative consequences or reports on whether items inside were properly archived or not

Next up for me is THE MOUNTAINS WE CALL HOME by Kim Michele Richardson. Looking forward to more about the Book Woman! @sbkslibrary.bsky.social sent me a few copies here at the library for book club consideration. #ewgc

Hooting and snorting my way through THE DEVIL AND MRS GOOCH by @deathbybadger.bsky.social (second in the "Household Gramarye" series). The footnotes! The ARC courtesy of @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social was just what I needed. #ewgc

I don't have many books to chat up because I didn't like some of the DRCs I read or couldn't get into them. Is it me? Is it the books? Who can tell; I'm really sleepy. πŸ˜‘ #ewgc

I buy a new book for myself when snow, sun, rain, sleet, fog, or a seasonal mix is forecasted. #ewgc

Episode 5 of #RiotWomen gutted me when it was released on #Britbox last night. I ADORE this show. Only one episode left in Season 1 but I understand there will be a Season 2!

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10
