As stressed as cataloguing makes me, I find it fascinating how true it is that everyone catalogues differently. It's really more an art than a science. Take Marie Kondo’s new book Letter from Japan:

in other news I appreciate how this app (through SFPL) that teaches Spanish is a) teaching the word for Canada surprisingly early on and b) the familiarity of having the exact same word written twice but one of the times there's an accent on one of the letters

i remember when this wonderful book was chosen as the "one book one city" read by the lapl... and the sfpl!
Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

I have an excuse to look into floriography, something I heard about through Gail Carriger's works (gailcarriger.com)
Of course my true love, the #SFPL had books on the subject and much more.
I'm easily distracted, & I find the best things when I'm looking for something else.
