Went into the bookstore today like “i am buying one book MAX. maybe two if I see one I really want but that is IT.” and then walked out with four new books
#🫣 listen. i was only there because there was a book i was reading at the library yesterday after i pulled it for someone’s hold#and it was one of those books that’s written as poetry so it’s way shorter than it looks and by the time the delivery people came to take it#to the library the person had requested it from i only had like 50 pages left#and i checked and there was one other available copy in my city’s library system but it was like twenty minutes away. as opposed to the#bookstore that is literally across the street from my other job#so i went ‘okay i’ll just go there and if they have it read the last bit in the cafe super quick! i can be trusted to not buy#seventy dollars worth of books while i’m there!’#(they said like a liar)#anyways bought he who drowned the world detransition baby this one called how we named the stars that i know nothing about#and fugitive telemetry. now the only murderbot book that i need to complete my collection is network effect :)

live laugh love my local library
#☆— yapping#went there bc i was bored#got three volumes of kn8#would've gotten more but they didn't have them unfortunately#and four volumes of smth i've never heard before#called dai dark#only picked it up bc it looks interesting#guess no one else knows it either bc the volumes are so stiff#like library books are usually kinda beat up and the spines broken in yk#but this is like. fresh#feels newer than ones in a bookstore#which i mean makes sense yk#the difference between the kn8 and dai dark volumes are so funny to me#staring at the way they're all stacked up rn#and no i didnt get any “real” books#the last time i tried to read a novel i got so confused by the setting#the whole story made no sense#but i made it chapter 4 or 5#also it was earlier this week i tried#actually was about to gag bc of the way a female character was described#it made me want to cry bc what was that#read better fanfics that were written by 14 y/os#and this guy got wtvr that was PUBLISHED and SOLD#and that's why i only borrow library books#ANYWYAS i've been wanting to read the kn8 manga for a bit now#but idk where to read it online and am too lazy to figure it out#but also if i have the choice between online or physical i have to say#i prefer physical books all the way#even if i cant read all of the chapters rn idrc#ill read the online version eventually but this'll just get me into it for now

got into a new book series which is terrible news for my bank account but wonderful news for the hyperfixation section of my brain
#op#i bought the first book a while ago and finally read it and i was gonna get the next in the series at the library but it was checked out#and i didn’t wanna wait 😭 so i went to the bookstore#i either obsess over things the way i do with fob and wwe or i just really focus on something until i’m done with it#and i haven’t had anything like the latter for a while. so it’s nice to have something to be into that isn’t like special interest level#just a more casual fixation. if that makes sense

today I spent three hours at the library and then proceeded to go to a bookstore I. have a problem. but a wonderful problem <3
#quil's unholy underworld#IN MY DEFENSE!!#in my defense#i had a volunteer shift at the library and books ready for pickup at the bookstore#that’s why we went#even though we’ve been five other times in the past week#however. in my offense…#i would do something like that regardless of if I had an excuse#I SWEAR IM FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE GUYS#i know it sounds like I’m not but I promise I’m quite reasonable about it

I genuinely can neither understand nor believe that my graduate life in which we were told not to commit to anything extracurricular because of how busy we would be is more relaxed and calm than my undergraduate where we were told we shouldn’t complain about the amount of homework and make sure to do extracurriculars/more classes or else you won’t be employable—
#jonniejonniejonquil#this is WILD GENUINELY#I went. to a guest lecture. AND two bookstores today. AND the library#but not for class? for? fun!?!?#it’s 2:30 pm and I have nothing else to do#I have already sent out my emails for the day and all my homework#and I have to do laundry but I have no classes tomorrow so am doing it then#I just??? am??? free???#like I can do work on my applications for dphil or work WAY ahead on my dissertation#but I’m??? NOT??? SWAMPED???#I feel like I don’t know what to do with myself???

what if I uh. got my masters in library science
#I spent the day in a library today bc my car had an emergency mechanic appt#and I went down a library science rabbit hole teehee#I found out there are botanical libraries and like other scientific/environmental libraries#and also positions like rare book curator and whatnot#which like!!! any of those would be delightful!!#anyway I signed up for a zoom info session w/ this one grad program#so we’ll see#idk like it wouldn’t even be till fall 2024 at the earliest since I already roped myself into staying here for another year….#but it would be nice to get a head start on it if it turns out this is something I’m rlly interested in pursuing#maybe I’ll try to work or at least volunteer at the library this yr#so far have only worked in bookstores but a library is definitely a different creature#anyways I am Thinking.#libraries#books#personal

Didn't realize how much of a nerd I was until I walked into a bookstore and immediately freaked out because they had really nice books
#creative writing#writing#reading#books & libraries#the books were actually really nice tho#like they were even wrapped in plastic wrap so they didnt get ruined#and they were all classic books too#and then i went to the classical section to look for one book#and i only didnt know a couple of those books#i love going to the bookstore#but yeah i might be a nerd#but books
