There's a giant bear, an evil corporation, & a talking plant anemone thing, all with a sort of Margaret Atwood *MaddAddam* vibe. What a strange, weird little book you are...

I love so much that the moose in this book is named Thor.

Cat helps me read graphic novels

Mystery within a mystery, & both equally delicious to solve.

Hee hee

The Scientist

KNO: My initials in the alphabet of Prince 🕺🏽

Smells like headmaster's office in here!

Irresistibly bizarre

So awful.

Nancy Drewcat & Lois Lanecat are inspired by the comic adventures of CatStronauts Blanket, Pom Pom, Waffles, & Major Meowser. 👩🏻‍🚀🐱

My favorite fictional family

My favorite part of Saga is the pets. And baby Hazel. Baby Hazel is hilarious.

Only purple shades for the Prince coloring book 🕺🏽☔️

KNO: My Rad American Women initials

Cat helps me read a book

A new history of the Minneapolis music scene in the 1970s & 80s, featuring my uncle's photography!

John James Audubon was a complicated, talented man of his times, & this graphic novel both explores his contradictory nature & pays tribute to the beauty of his work.

Book Prom! A display of fiction & nonfiction pairings for a read to remember.

A student requested this global history of sausage via interlibrary loan & so introduced me to the entire wonderful Edible Books series. Yesssss!

I think I'll try being a cat. It looks pretty easy.

A science geek & her pet t-rex. What's not to love? SO. MUCH. FUN.

The artwork speaks for itself. A lovely little fantasy.

Horrible scary Bloor, who...presses a button on his desk. How terrifying!

Watch it, then read it, then watch it again, then read it, and watch it again, and read it one more time... so rare when a book adaptation lives up to the hype! 📖🖥❤️

Happy Earth Day / March for Science! 🌏👩🏻‍🔬

It's an obsession. Happy 201st birthday, Charlotte.

This book is wrong--Prince never fell; he just got a little more eccentric! One year after the death of the His Purpleness, we blasted Prince's music in the library all day. This is what it sounds like when doves cry. 🕺🏽☔️🕊

Happy Easter 🐰🌷🐣🍫

If *The Handmaid's Tale* is Pence's America, then *Bitch Planet* is Trump's. Of course Pence & Trump could not plan for all the badass women who would rebel against their patriarchal dystopians. #BitchPower

Placed & processed over 65 interlibrary loan books this week for 9th grade history classes. Let the research begin!

Did I write this book? This book is basically me & my family.

Intricate, incredible world-building, with lots of mindblowing "oh shit!" moments, compulsively readable. I need book two NOW.

Blue sky, international art theft, moody art school students.

Keeping warm with the story of Ada Blackjack, only survivor of the ill-fated 1921 Wrangle Island Arctic Expedition. Oh, and Vic the cat survives too!

I found a not insignificant number of dinosaurs when I cleaned out my car today.

They look exactly like I always pictured them! Loving the BBC's Bronte biopic "We Walk Invisible."

So relevant, authentically adolescent, & a damn good story to boot. Required reading for everyone.

Why did it take me so long to discover *Paper Girls*? It's like "Newsies" meets "Stranger Things," but with BADASS GIRLS!!!

Getting over a cold, reading about plagues, eating dinner.

Giant lady robots. 'Nough said.

Crookshanks, Mrs Norris, Mrs Figgs' cats, Millicent Bulstrode's cat, Dolores Umbridge's kitten plates, McGonagall's Animagus form...

This comic is weird, quirky, Millennial, satirical, & gross because of all the boogers. It's also a murder mystery (or is it?) set against the glamorous New York world of secretly insecure fashion bloggers. Take your allergy meds & check out the irresistible Snotgirl.

I have reader's block!!! I don't know what to read next!!! 📚

"Many species of Old World monkeys have strange sitting pads on their bottoms called ischial callosites." Who knew? An informative, beautifully illustrated book about our "quirky cousins" the monkeys.

Happy International Women's Day!

I love the idea of living on Mars, both the fantasy & the science of it. My latest red planet read is *The Wanderers,* in which three astronauts live & work a real-time 17-month-long Mars mission simulation in isolation. It's about questioning reality, chasing dreams, & choosing which stories we tell ourselves & our loved ones.

This book is called *A Dangerous Day for Mrs Doodlepunk.* I found it in an antique store. Children's books were very strange in the 1950s.

Re-reading the *Wrinkle in Time Quartet* as an adult is an interesting experience. I'd forgotten how strange & wonderful these books are! Also, Louise the Larger is the best character.

Discovering the graphic novel version of *A Wrinkle in Time* made me remember how much I love this book--and it was cool to see how the artist imagined Aunt Beast! I'm extra-excited for the movie adaptation next year!
