Over at Book Riot this week, a few posts:
- Five great questions I got asked as a reference librarian. A little bit of humor, a little bit of seriousness, and a little bit of decoding the mystery of the book that someone saw at a grocery store.
- This week’s 3 On A YA Theme looks at 3 recent diverse YA mysteries.
- I collected a pile of great bookish art I’ve seen on Tumblr. Along with gallery, I dug up the attributions so artists got their credit (that’s my biggest Tumblr pet peeve).
This was the last week for the donation drive to get Some Girls Are into the hands of teens at West Ashley High School. I spent the bulk of Wednesday packing them up and making various supply runs across town to make sure they were boxed up and taped up well for mailing. Thanks to your incredible generosity for the donations, as well as the incredible support you showed in helping me pay for postage. I’ve made one trip to the post office already and plan two more to mail out the 30 (!!!) boxes of books. My goal, once these are all shipped out, is to take the 830 copies we received as donations and make it a round 1,000 copies. Here’s a look at all of the boxes, for the curious. I cannot wait to see Andria’s photos when she’s giving the books to the kids:
