Chilling, no really my hands are cold...


I have been quite slow with this blog, I really need to pick up and do more.   I think I will also do some adult books here, since not that many people are reading this and I feel like of late I have been reading more adult books.  Especially the Outlander series, which I am now addicted to.  Oddly, it took a while for me to get through the first book, but after part of book 2, I have been flying through them.  Coming up for air this week and a break with some other library books, but I love Jamie and Claire, Roger and Brianna.

Oh, you want to know about the title?  Well, it is the second day of autumn here, and I am wearing a long sleeve shirt and jeans and smart wool socks, does that answer your question?  September has been odd, weather wise, but that's Cleveland for you.

In addition to reviewing Outlander, I think I will also do the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones.  An adult mismash of genres, to be sure.  It has mystery, paranormal, romance, not to mention Reyes, who has his own category because he is so HOT.  Of course, I say I will do these things, but really, I only hope to.  Here's hoping I will finish up Enola Holmes today while my KnowItNow shift is a bit light.  Au revoir, mes amis!

Many apologies

Not totally sure if anyone is actually reading this.  But if you are, I wanted to apologize that I haven't been posting.  It isn't that I haven't been reading, but I fear I am being lazy about the blog.  Still, I really would like to to keep it up.  Any sort of response would help encourage me, though I do want to keep trying no matter what.

Right now I am staffing Ohio's KnowItNow 24x7, an online chat reference service for anyone in the state.  I did some training a couple weeks ago, and today is my first time.  I was talking to a librarian in Dayton who said it was quiet for a Monday, so I hope next week should bring more opportunity.  Still, it is nice to try to hone my reference skills, though the two chats I have taken both got disconnected.  Sadly, since they both seemed to be nice people.

I think part of what makes it hard to do this is that I am then admitting I have time to do it, which is depressing.  The job market for librarians is a bit shaky right now, so finding a job and getting to the interview point is even harder.  Let alone actually getting a job.

I will see about an entry later today.  Maybe for one of the numerous paranormal mystery series I have been reading of late.  Better get back to staffing the service, though there are no users on right now. Au revoir.
