Working at a Library

Over the summer I had a job at my local library. For the most part the job was just re-shelving books. During the 3 months that I worked there I got really good at the alphabet. (The first couple of weeks I was singing the ABC's inside my head) 

I was looking for gif of the ABC's or someone signing the ABC's but I couldn't find one anywhere so here's a cute minions gif. 

But while I was there at the library I notice a few different things. Some of them were normal and some just really strange.

Here are some strange things that I notice while I worked there...

Do you notice anything weird about this picture? Maybe that Heist Society by Ally Cater is categorized as Horror? The kick-ass, action novel that is a little suspenseful, but has no horror moments is categorized at horror. That was one of the first things that I couldn't understand about the libraries categorizing system. 

Here were just some of the funniest/cutest book names that I've seen on a book. They actually sound really interesting and I'll probably try and read them at some points. If you look to the left of the picture you might be able to see Rest in Pizza which is another food titled murder (by another author). I didn't realize how popular they were. 

Those are just some of the weird things that happened over the summer while I was working at a library.

Have you guys ever notice and weird things in your library?

College Book Shelf!

Shelf. As in singular self. I don't have another other shelves to use for books here in my teeny tiny dorm room. (okay it's really not that small compared to other dorms) but the book storage is just one self for now. I'm sure book will be all other the dorm by the end of the year.

Here's a large picture of the shelf...

Holding up the other side of the book is a container of nail polish. (and yes that is a white collar poster on the bottom right) 

Slightly closer! These are all the books I was able to bring with me to school. It was so hard to narrow it down but in the end this is what I brought. 

Cuckoo's Calling by J.K. Rowling 

Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood 

Gamebaord of the Gods by Richelle Mead

Carnival of Souls by Melissa Mar 

The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger

Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma by Camilla Townsend (for school)

Fever by Lauren Destefano 

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken

And that's my book shelf tour! (seriously just a shelf). For the most part these are books I haven't read yet besides the ones that I finished while I was here, or are my favorite novels that I couldn't leave at home. (Pride and Prejudice and The Great Gatsby). I also brought my signed copy of Insurgent (which is another favorite) but my roommate is currently reading it.

15 Day Book Blogger Challenge!

 Day 1: Make 15 book related confessions

1. If I’m bored while reading a book I’ll skim read until I get to an interesting part. 

2. I love fantasy novels

3. I always watch a movie before I read the book. 

4. I like to drink tea while I read

5. I can tell if it’s a really good book if I completely forget about the tea

6. I’ve never really cried while reading a book. They can make me sad or tear up but rarely a book will actually make me cry. 

7. I can’t sit still while reading. I have to move around every few minutes. Such as moving to the other side of the couch or from sitting up to laying down while I read. 

8. I’m a sucker for a colorful book cover. 

9. I hate covers with people on them. 

10. I own about 200 books that I haven’t read. 

11. I feel really bad that I haven’t been blogging the past 6 months. (I guess that’s more of a blog confession)

12. I only read the Harry Potter novels last year. 

13. I love to write in books as I read. 

14. I could care less if they changed the look in the series half way through as long as the books following the first novel are still as good as the first. 

15. I usually forget to keep up with a series unless if was mind blowing like Divergent, Delirium and City of Bones.
