I love these movies. But at the end of the day, I love the original show even more. If you have the chance, just sit there and marathon it. It is so good. The Addams are the most wonderful, loving, supportive family, the show is full of brilliant one-liners, and (as great as Anjelica Huston is) no one will ever be a…

I actually have sleep paralysis 2-3 times a week, and am now just completely unphased by it. I don’t have auditory/visual hallucinations, so it’s not too bad (sometimes if I have it when waking up from a nightmare I have some lingering sensations, but that’s rare). Most of the time it’s just me going “Ugh, catch up to…

I can’t really speak much to public libraries, because I’m a school librarian with a school of about 600 students. My losses are much smaller than a public library’s losses. I think Literary_Funk makes a lot of good points as to why a public library might not take replacement copies.

Not that I want it to happen, but I don’t get too stressed when books go missing in my library. They probably ended up in a place where they were needed, and the worst thing that happens to me is I need to buy a replacement copy somewhere down the road.

I’m a librarian at a NYC public school, and I got so excited about this that I made a sign to put on my library door and I e-mailed all my teachers. Also, we’re part of a public library program called MyLibraryNYC so my students can actually sign up for fine-free cards for the future. If you’re in NYC and your kids…

I have a friend in YA publishing, and that’s what she suspects.

Wait, seriously? I’m shocked by that. I had it down as the clear winner. I haven’t read a lot of the finalists, but I did read I’m Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter. It was a great book but definitely not as good as The Hate U Give.

I hate everything about this woman.

I laughed way too hard at this.

Wow, some of you are truly garbage human beings. Just save yourself some time and say you hate poor people.

Considering she doesn’t get a lot of time with her kids when they’re primarily home (the evenings), I’m sure that a lot of what she does with them in the morning is about having time with them. I’ve known people who work similar schedules and even though it’s exhausting to wake up early after working nights, the time…

I think I’m going to fall down and die from that surprise.

For those of you into speculative fiction/genre fiction/sci-fi-fantasy/whatever you want to call it, N.K. Jemisin’s “Broken Earth” trilogy is a must read. She’s won the Hugo Award for the first 2 books in the trilogy (“The Fifth Season” and “The Obelisk Gate”), and when “The Stone Sky” comes out, I have no doubt it’ll…

Honestly, depending on how he reacted to that/tone in his voice, I would have probably been afraid of being hit too. It might not have been a rational fear (it doesn’t sounds like he ever thought about hitting her), but I’ve definitely been suddenly afraid a partner was going to hit me when they suddenly became angry…

Yeah, I looked back at it again and it said that she asked him several times to stop. I wasn’t thinking about that as much.

It’s so the Cat Gods will bless this sacred union.

Yeah, like I totally get being frustrated and angry about a partner not respecting your space, but throwing hot food in their face is a scary response. I would have liked to have seen more discussion there.

Watch 45 and his Fox News cronies blame all of this on the counter-protesters.

I’m very tired, and first read this as you telling us to debate over Matthew Mercer’s sexiness. I was very confused because clearly there is no debate.

I appreciate your commitment.
