I probably can't really be an LCARS librarian since I'm stuck in the pre-warp drive for humans early part of the 21st century. Bummer. But if I could be an LCARS librarian I would. Or I would work in Stellar Cartography. Or is there a library on Battlestar Galactica? For now, I'll just stick to reading books, writing, and earth-bound YA librarianship. I hope to use this blog as a way to write book reviews for myself and others, and to write about librarianship.

The goal is to read 25 of the books from YALSA's award lists … Continue reading I’m not going to finish the Hub Challenge

It's been a full week! The Fault in Our Stars movie adaptation came out last Friday, and while I still haven't seen it yet, it seem to have been on everyone's collective mind. I really liked the book - it was a really personal read for me as I had a friend in high school … Continue reading John Green, Summer Reading, and Librarian reunions

May was crazy
