I'll have a vendor booth and be selling more than just books. I have prints, stickers, and handpainted items ready.

Hope to see you there!

Home Library Tips 6/6

Final repost about how to navigate the MyLibrary app by Julien Keith. A great app that helps you catalogue large collections of books, manga, comics, graphic novels, movies, video games, and more!

Home Library Tip 5/6:

Numeric sequences when listing a series on an alphabetical list can trick you! Don't forget to put a zero.

Double digit series? 01/10+
Triple digits? 001/100+

You're welcome!

Home Library Tips 4/6

Show me a pic of you before things went sideways in 2020...

I gave up a house rental for a loft, I had given up on having a child after 3 losses, and I left my job to attend uni.

Then:
1. Pregnancy success 🌈
2. Covid began 😷

"Where My Lore Started"

This trend is a throwback to days when I did cartoon challenges on socials. Here is my movie version of this fun challenge.
