I'm going old school and writing this from the computer at the library

Your library has books? Our libraries have been turning into "community centers," with meeting rooms and computers instead of actual books. The available books are becoming fewer and fewer. It's sad.

And they are put on those old skool metal rolling bookshelves (that we used to use to put books back into the stacks) with a FREE sign on them in the foyer. WTH libraries?

The first floor in our town library dedicated to audiobooks. The computers are up on the second floor across from...BOOKS. Actual books. Books which I've taken out and relished over the decades. New books which are on display by the circulation desk. The community rooms are down in the basement. There are rooms for quiet study but you have to sign up to use them. The historical society is in the original-building wing and it's only open twice a week.

I dread the day when they decide to dismantle the second floor.

Check out "Engines of the Broken World" if you can find it. Someone besides me has to read that! It's haunting and beautiful and not anything like you might expect.

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin is amaaaazing and great. First in a series, but it's a planned three book series (I think) and the second comes out this fall.

I'm currently reading The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey, which seems nifty, but I'm not very far into it. So if you want to read along with me... :)

11/22/63, by Stephen King, if you haven't read it yet.

Anything by Naomi Novik, particularly Temeraire.

And Joe Hill.
