Also Me: Gets drenched at the airport in a downpour during taxi drop off.

I never annotate novels I read for leisure, but I’ve made an exception for “Leave the World Behind,” because I am determined to finish it before watching the movie but need some place to leave my snark.

Book and cat lovers: I need help selecting an embosser.
#1 (cat on books) or #2 (detailed cat)? If cat on books, which one? This could be the most important decision of my career, even my legacy on this earth when I bequeath my books to a very lucky library one day, so choose wisely.

I can’t help it. This weekend it will be me, a case of bottled Diet Coke (bc it tastes better) and box of wine, annotating articles…

I asked my husband for an embosser for Christmas but told him I couldn't decide between the various cat designs.

He then had the nerve to tell me a library wouldn't accept my books as a donation when I die.

Sir, have you met a librarian?

I've received a lot of nice compliments on how nice I'm dressed today.
It's a costume.
A few got it and really loved my Cruella Deville.
I'm actually Mrs. Robinson.
