Photo Prompt: Night. First related horror title on my shelf & a little BSP, as my horror poem “Light the Match of Wrath” is included in this collection. #photochallenge #Scarathlon #horrorpoetry #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall #night

FlynnDewey I imagine reading by Jack O'Lantern would be a bit of an ordeal. 6mo

Have to share this one. An ARC I just finished ended with this pic. Wooooooooo... it‘s so creepy. I‘m sure she‘s beautiful and all, but... How is this even possible?

julesG It's a photo-negative. Creepy! 4y

Tove_Reads @julesG Yes, but why didn‘t they check it? 4y

julesG @Tove_Reads 💡it's the author picture. That should definitely not look like this. 4y

Not book related.

I actually had a nightmare last night that the library reduced the number of holds each person could have to 10, and I wrote them a letter asking then why they were ruining my life 😂😂😂

My husband says I have officially reached Peak Nerd.

MicheleinPhilly Last weekend I had a private in store shopping appointment at my local indie. The night before I dreamt that the store was actually the LA Central Library (which is HUGE) and none of the employees were wearing masks. They kept getting up in my face and asking if I needed help and I just kept shouting, “My time is running out! Stop bothering me!” Uber nerd. 4y

Centique @MicheleinPhilly that‘s hilarious! Turns out that #librarynightmares is a thing. 😂 4y

xicanti Ha! When my library reopened, they reduced physical holds to 20. It horrified me, but I didn‘t bother writing a letter. I guess a bunch of other people did that work for me, because they‘ve since lifted the restriction! 4y

ravenlee My library has a 10-hold limit. My first workaround - use both mine and kiddo‘s card. Second workaround - immediately place the next round of holds when getting home from picking up the last one. Literally, within minutes. Either my branch librarians really love me or they‘re sick to death of seeing me drive up. 4y

Centique @xicanti thank god for that! 4y

Centique @ravenlee whenever I meet a librarian they say, oh I know your name from the hold shelf. 😂😂 Good workarounds! I woke up thinking ok, ok, I‘ll just get Dad his own library card and then I‘ll have 3 lots of 10 😂 4y

Megabooks 😂😂😂😂 4y

ravenlee When they started doing the curbside pickups, they asked us to have our library card out when they came to the car, signature side out. The fourth or fifth time I forgot and was scrambling for my wallet and the librarian laughed and shook her head and said, “I know who you are, Ms. Shinoskie.” 😆 Mine are almost entirely for the kiddo, and she‘s voracious. 4y

Centique @ravenlee yay for kiddo! And yay for being #famousatthelibrary 😂 4y

CarolynM OMG! You would have needed a long cuddle after that one🤗 4y

batsy Ahahaha! I love it, by which I mean, a *scary* dream. I had a dream during lockdown that one of the footballers I follow on instagram posted a story about how he was at the bookstore, showing off books he bought (this guy has never talked about books?!) and in the dream I wrote a long, outraged comment on his page about how the rest of us can't go to bookstores. I woke up so angry 😳🤣🤣 That's when I knew all was definitely not well with me lmao 4y

Centique @CarolynM he was too busy laughing at me 😂😂 4y

Centique @batsy when Covid enters your dreams right? I love that you gave him a bookish side in your dream! We have no social distancing at the moment although it‘ll probably be back. We had zero but we‘ve taken in thousands of returning citizens and some of them have it - hopefully the quarantine they‘re in is sufficient but 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4y

Ruthiella 😂😂😂😂 I have never had more than three or four holds max! It freaks me out already when they come in “too soon”. But I am tickled you had a library related nightmare and are apparently not alone in having them. (edited) 4y

batsy @Centique I know, it's all a little bit weird. We've basically reopened most sectors with social distancing measures in place, but as expected it's hard to get people to adhere. There's temperature checks everywhere but who knows how effective that is. Our cases are down to a single digit and we do get stats on the cases daily, so the only person I trust at the moment is our Director-General of Health... 4y

Cathythoughts That‘s a scream ! A library dream ❤️I love it 😍 4y

Cathythoughts I‘m laughing at your husband “ Peak Nerd “ .... that‘s so funny 😂 4y

Centique @Cathythoughts you‘re so lovely Cathy 😘 Great to laugh along with you! Hope you are doing well? 4y

Tanisha_A Oh my god! Hilarious! Night before last, I dreamt I was sitting at my favourite bookstore cafe, with a friend who loves it as much, and then I woke up distressed. 🥺 4y

Centique @Tanisha_A Awww 🥺 I can totally understand that! It‘s so sad that the libraries are closed (necessary but sad) 4y

Centique @batsy I hope things improve further in Malaysia and your city 💕- it‘s hard to keep track of how each country is faring - some seem to be doing well, but whenever i go searching for stats theres still a lot of frightening news😬 4y

batsy @Centique Thank you, friend ❤️ And I know what you mean! We're all operating on different timelines, which is really so bizarre. 4y

Hey All,

Just checking in. If you have been tagged below, either I have not seen you sent post, saw it and didn't keep good enough notes, or you are still waiting to send. All are okay, but please be thinking about getting those packages out soon. Priority mail says it takes 3 days, give it 5. Media Mail says it takes 5 days, give it 10.

cant Wait to see everyone's goodies.

KT1432 Hi! Yes I will be sending today or tomorrow! Shipping from bookoutlet was slower than usual. 😞 5y

LibrarianRyan @lele1432 That I always understand. I never expect to recieve a bookoutlet shipment in less then 10 days. It sits in UPS hands forever before it gets moved to USPS. 5y

KT1432 Yes! It was days after being shipped before I even received an update! 5y

bookish_wookish I also did book outlet not knowing it would take almost as long as book depository! 😳 Hopefully it comes this week and i can ship it out before the weekend! 5y

tdrosebud I'll be shipping out within the next couple of days 5y

jhod @Cleo and i emailed you to say we will be sending postcards rather than parcels given we live in different Londons! 🤩 5y

FantasyChick Mine's heading out tonight or tomorrow morning. I needed to get a better box from work 😂 5y

TorieStorieS Just posted a pic! Headed for the post office as soon as it stops raining! 5y

LibrarianRyan @jhod your right. Like I said. Bad record keeping! Thanks guys. 5y

Chrys Waiting on one item which should be here today or tomorrow, so probably sending out on Wednesday 5y

MatchlessMarie I'm planning on mailing mine today! 5y

cleoh @LibrarianRyan @jhod I mailed it today! I just posted about it; I didn‘t see this notification before I did! 👻🎃😍 5y

Gissy My first boxes will be arriving this week. There will be another box that will arrive near to the open date because I'm still waiting for something. I will send a picture on Wednesday! 5y

Copwithabook Mailing mine tomorrow 5y

LibrarianRyan @Copwithabook yeah 5y

Captivatedbybooks I will mail mines today or tomorrow! Have to go in person and get what i was waiting on cause B&N never showed up 😡 i was gonna drive it over cause its not that far from me lol but i dont want to be a stalker lol imma pay the extra for express so its on time 😉 5y

LibrarianRyan @Captivatedbybooks okay. If it is easier and/or cheaper I can let you person know it will be dropped off. We have had people do that before. 5y

Copwithabook @LibrarianRyan life has been overwhelming on my end but the package was sent out today. They told me they couldn‘t overnight it bc of the wildfires in CA. Could you let my person know it should be there on Halloween day?! 4y

LibrarianRyan @Copwithabook I perfectly understand all that. Thanks for letting me know. I will tell your partner. 4y

I hope you know that despite giving myself nightmares twice this past week, I am continuing to read spooky books this month for YOU team 😂 Last night I woke up at 3 am thinking a zombie was lurking over my bed and I have a feeling it is from reading multiple zombie/undead theme books.

1 point participation (though I feel I should get more for the dream lol). #Scarathlon #TeamStoker

BeansPage

BeansPage Oh no!!! Sweetie are there any books that you have that you can read that are not scary but that have monsters in them? 5y

BeansPage Maybe you could try something like Practical Magic and The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman? Or The Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness? 5y

bibliobard @TheReadingMermaid I will have to look. I really want to finish these reads. And it isn‘t really that the books I am reading are all that scary—it is just a lot of undead lately. I need to read a good witch book or something I think. I am fine I went right back to sleep so it isn‘t like I am losing sleep. 5y

See All 9 Comments

BeansPage Okay sweetie. But I'm here if you need anything and if you need more suggestions I will look in my library for you. There's lots of things that you can read that are not scary or do not have undead in them. Don't worry we will get through this together 🤗 5y

bibliobard @TheReadingMermaid That is very sweet thank you! 5y

BeansPage 😘😘 5y

Jadams89 I‘ve had some really strange dreams this month too. 5y

bibliobard @Jadams1776 good to know I am not alone. Definitely doing a palette cleanse after this month—maybe switch to romcoms or something ridiculous 5y

Jadams89 @Shakespearience me too! Lots of cozy mysteries coming my way next month 5y

So I have to ruin the surprise. @BookishTrish your #n4c package is on its way to you via FedEx. It should be there Tuesday. I had the shipping dept. At work send it and they were suppose to put my name as a reference to bill me, but they put it in the contact name with yours instead. I'm hoping that doesn't affect delivery. Please let me know if you have any issues!
#nightmare4christmas @teebe

FantasyChick I put my phone number down as a contact for them if there is a problem. Also....I got the #seatosea package back from Canada Post! I don't think it ever made it past Ontario. So I added those books into the box as well 5y

BookishTrish OMG that‘s so funny that you got me! I‘ll be sure to let you know when it arrives ❤️ 5y

FantasyChick I know!! @BookishTrish I got both you and @tournevis for swaps this Christmas! It was so much fun shopping for Littens I've gotten to know 5y
