The Librarians Suggest

 When I came across this  librarian blog , I seriously fell out of my chair from laughing so hard while on my lunch break one afternoon. Every single  librarian frustration  this guy writes about applies to librarian life like you can't believe. He's spoken at library conferences and I'm dying to get him to come out to sunny California. Do yourself a favor,  check him out !  I recently was suggested this book last week after talking about my love for Manhattan. Have you heard of  Vanishing New York ? "The go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character."  " Jeremiah Moss does an excellent job of cataloging all that’s constantly being sacrificed to the god of rising rents."  These are just a few of my favorite reviews of his blog. His writing features mom and pop owned businesses closing left and right and how Manhattan is becoming a city for the 1%.  I've been following  Lost in Cheeseland...

I have a problem with collecting books. If there was a mental disorder for this I'm sure I'd have it since my mother has a panic attack every time she sees a stack of books. I keep them under the bed, in the closet, behind my shoes, a bookcase in the closet, under my desk, up against the wall, they are literally everywhere. How do you store your books?!  Post by Sarah  (image via  design darling )

As you all know by now I have a slight obsession with children's stories particularly fairy tales. I recently finished grad school and although my emphasis is in archiving and preservation, I will never outgrow the tattered old box of picture books and chapter books of my youth. There's something so enchanting about the worlds that exist in the pages of books like Winnie the Pooh or James and the Giant Peach.   Escaping to The Hundred-Acre Woods or entering the forest in one of the Grimm's fairy tales , let me just tell you, I could sit and read (and re-read) these books for hours. I recently stumbled across old and beat up boxes of the books that consumed by childhood. Of course I couldn't help but drag them out and clean up a few of my favorites. So I'll go ahead and reacquaint myself with the characters from The Wind in the Willows and The Grimm Brother's Fairy Tales . What are some of your favorite books from your childhood?!  Post by Sa...

I never got into the original  Queer Eye For The Straight Guy   mostly because I was in high school and college and I just didn't watch a ton of television then. And I only got into the reboot because a coworker was praising the show last week (and said the guys were super good looking). She told me make sure you have tissues, it will make you cry. So last week after a particularly long day, I binged the first four episodes. My coworker was right, I teared up every single episode. When I say it's one of the best shows I've watched in a while it's because it's so heart warming, it just pulls at your heart strings. There's an episode where  Bobby Berk  makes a statement along the lines of no matter the color or our sexuality we're people and we all just want to be accepted and loved. And it's true! Despite being uncomfortable and awkward the guys have no problem opening up on screen with the men they are making over. One of my favorit...

If there were two things I was obsessive about as a child it was the world of  Harry Potter   and  Beauty and the Beast .  Let's pause for just a second, Emma Watson has been both Hermione and Belle, what a millennial girl's dream!!! So as you may assume, I went to the first showing of the highly anticipated live action feature   of  Beauty and the Beast   and it succeeded all of my expectations. Besides the  dress  which is infinitely better in the animated classic and the  wannabe 90's R&B version  of   the single,  Beauty and the Beast   performed by  Ariana Grande and John Legend , the film was worth every penny. Also, I'm watching Legion, noticing a theme here? I'm totally swooning over Dan Stevens right now. Did you know he's narrated over a hundred books? I recently ordered all of the books in the   Shadow of the Wind   series by Carlos Ruiz Zafon on audio because fate would have it that ...

When brand new books come back damaged and parents say their children didn't do it. I just want to scream and yell. We're giving you damn books for free!!!!!!!!!! #librarianproblems
