Real life librarian (she/her) on the hunt for something to make me feel as alive as I did when I was tearing through the Twilight saga for the first time. I ❤️ @raypurchase

    All I really want right now is a warm bowl of mushroom ravioli and a tall glass of coke.

    This is my new favorite Austen! So silly, but so lovely at the same time. All the thrills of a gothic with none of the chills. Jane Austen and I would be friends if we were alive at the same time, I just know it.

    There’s 5 stars for a rip roaring good time and there’s 5 stars for a literary masterpiece. This is a masterpiece.

    This one is a PSA for my fellow librarians!

    PRH has an audiobook app that you can sign up for with your librarian email. It’s orange and has white headphones as the icon. I was approved after a few days and now I have access to tons and tons of audiobooks.

    Happy exploring! And hopefully this frees up a bunch of Libby hold spaces for you like it did for me ❤️

    I picked my username from the show Toast of London! Steven Toast is quoted a lot in my house. I would say the Discovery of Witches is my book! The series is so much fun (both book and TV). I love Diana’s academic witch vibe. I want to be her when I grow up 🧙🏻‍♀️

  • Ice breaker - what's the story behind your username and what's a book that represents you?

    Okay so I really want to get to know y'all! So I thought why not ask you guys a few questions! My username is bluehairedboy. Which is ironic because I don't have blue hair nor am I a boy. I'm genderqueer. If you wanted to visualise my gender, draw a straight line between man and woman and I'm a dot on the outside but towards the woman side. I'm biologically female for all those who'd be like "but what are you REALLY?" ☠️ Blue haired boy is actually a name of a song I like a lot. It's very cute and it's about a small crush the singer has on a blue haired boy. It's a very feel good song.

    And a book that really represents me; well there are three — If you could see the sun by Ann liang, the passion project by London sperry, and Welcome to the Hyunam dong bookshop. These books represent my past, present, and hopefully, future. I was an academic machine, I AM someone who's an emotional mess in therapy, and hopefully, one day I'll be content and satisfied with my life as it is!

    So what's the story behind YOUR username and what's a book that represents YOU?

    His hair is short, a rich brown cut to a buzz.

    It's not, but thanks for the suggestion.
