This post is obviously inspired by this recent post in the movie quest forum, but it's a small problem that I don't have a solution for yet.

So I work at a biiiiig bookshop as a help, and sadly we have a medium-to-big sized Harry Potter section with books, merch and candy. I can't do anything about that.

About my circumstances, I'm handling the customers at the cash register. Usually there's the option to check with the online shop and adjust the price of an item (downwards), which is something I haven't done so far for HP books/merch unless asked. I didn't want to encourage people to buy more stuff, but it also means a bigger win for the company 🫠 I don't feel like I'm in a position to say anything about the customer's purchase, either.

So how are you, if you're also working in the field, dealing with this situation? What are some of your (realistic, please, I like my job) suggestions? And please tell me I'm not the only one conflicted about this* 😭

*I couldn't care less about HP, there are much better wizard books out there (like Sorcery and Small Magics, if you're asking for a queer recommendation)

Edit: spelling mistake

I have some small really pretty notebooks on my shelf at the minute and I have no clue what to actually do with them 😅 wondered if anyone had any nice ideas on what to fill them with or how everyone uses their own notebooks? :)

i saw an interview with Cillian Murphy recently where he mentioned when he gets a new book he signs it on the first page and where he bought it from, and now i wanna do it 😭 problem is i don’t know exactly when i got a lot of mine especially from months/years ago but i think it’d be cute to start from now on

anyone else do something similar?

I just signed up to be a bottle foster for a local rescue org, which means I might be responsible for naming litters of kittens soon, a task which I do NOT take lightly lmao so what I want to know is, which book's cast of characters would you name a litter of kittens after?

I just finished Six of Crows so the first crew that came to mind for me was Kaz, Inej, Nina, Matthius, Jesper, and Wylan, all of which would make truly excellent kitten names imo 🧐 What about you?? (do not say HP, it's overdone and also ..... just no lol)
