We also got to see Big Gretch as our opening session speaker and she might convince me to move to the Midwest? Idk I really hate snow. #alaac25 @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social

Day 1 of #alaac25 and I was SO EXCITED to meet my academic advisor from The University of Alabama in person! Dr. Yates is the reason I was able to push through and finish successfully and he REMEMBERED me! I got to thank him and idk if I’ll ever have the right words ❤️ @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social

Book number 4: Dreaming in Cuban by Cristina Garcia #booksthatradicalizedme docs.google.com/document/d/1...

This book was VIOLENT. This book was WEIRD. This book was GENRE-BLENDING. I don’t want to tell you too much about it because it’s more fun that way. It’s a horror. It’s a mystery. It’s a GREAT time! 5/5⭐️ 💙📚 #booksky

The mixture of apps I’m using to track my reading this year is 🤌🏻 I’m never leaving StoryGraph and I’m loving the addition of Fable! I’m a librarian so I’m a data nerd.

I had a great reading month! #booksky 💙📚

Trying to not be so doom and gloom, so I’m reading this horror novel by Johnny Compton as a palette cleanser 😅 #booksky #reading

Currently reading! Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor. This book is SO interesting so far!!
