Book #8 of 2025. Mysteries aren't really my thing, but I enjoyed the slow unraveling of the story from multiple viewpoints. Good, solid writing. BUT, If you know what I like to read, you'll know from the title alone I was expecting something completely different. 7/10

Signed, and now waiting for the last coat of sealant to dry. I guess she's done. Now she needs a name. I'm thinking "Wreathed in Paper." Suggestions? #artsky #junkmailart #junkmailcollage #collage

Book #3 of 2025 felt like it took forever to get through. I doubt I read any more by this author. Well written, but dull, excluding a chuckle or two. 5/10 #booksky

Finished book #33 of 2024 late, late last night--a re-imagining of "The Fall of the House of Usher." Lots of added characters and the author WAS trying really hard, but...meh. 6/10

When my library's booth theme for the local Con was "House Libraryan" (heh, heh), I made a dragon egg out of a styrofoam egg, lots and lots of silver thumbtacks, sticky bling jewels,sticky bling sheets and glue. Someone gave us a 3-d printed one too.

Easy collage: Print out image on white paper (keep it simple). Trace image in black marker front AND back. Put stickers ALL over image on one side (go over the lines. Overlap. COVER it). Flip and cut out using the lines traced on the other side. Ta-da #simplecollage #libraryprogramming

As a Programming and Outreach Librarian, part of my job is to come up with a theme and decorate our booth for the local Con. This year we were...House Libraryan.
