Not every book/movie needs a romantic subplot, because not every life has a romantic subplot, AND THAT'S OK. #ToTheGirls2016

@shesbonky I was at dinner w mom and ran into a student (I was a university librarian). Afterwards mom said, "You just turned into a different person!" She said my way of speaking, mannerisms, the way I carried myself, all shifted. I never realized professional me was so different.

@landis_melinda He's gorgeous and I love the name Harris!

I just realized this sounds sarcastic, but that was not intentional. There are some interesting class activities and discussions you could do with this.

@AllyMalinenko That I've actually managed to finish? Heart of Darkness. But I couldn't even get through Moby Dick.

What's the difference between a light bulb and a librarian?

A light bulb stops working when it burns out.

🧵 1️⃣ When my in-laws booked their flight to Berlin (which would be their first trip abroad), my husband and I told them, “We can get a cheap flight or train ticket to almost anywhere. Where in Europe would you like to go?”

Without hesitating, my father-in-law said, “Lorraine.”

@ruthannaevans Joanna woke from a dead sleep to the sound of her bedroom doorknob turning in the middle of the night.

She lived alone.

@kathyfish It’s older, if that matters, but I have never stopped thinking about “Yours” by Mary Robison.

@StrikeDebt This is like when everyone is totally stressed out at work and instead of fixing things, they give you a pizza party.

@havehadhavehad @sarahbooradley This is fantastic! ("You mistook cliché for destiny" hit a little close to home, damn.)

@landis_melinda That was nice that they didn't charge you. Hopefully he's on the mend then. Those cats are lucky to have you.

@landis_melinda They also discovered lung cancer while she was in the hospital but fortunately it was early stage so she was able to get radiation treatments. The doctors are very optimistic that it's gone and won't come back.
