Being a private librarian is indeed a dream job! Bookish bon vivant @elenawonders wrote this lovely piece for Oprah Daily about my work in home libraries and the story of Foxtail Books. https://t.co/D4f7RicYLm

@simon_beattie Ooh lala this looks fascinating

@queenofbithynia I don’t think I spend too much time online, either. But I do know who this man is. Though does he drink it or inject it? And what do we mean by too much?

[Christy at Foxtail Books @FoxtailBooks]

Part of my work entails the aesthetics and care of books on a shelf. I usually place things spine-flush, but set back 1-3 inches from the edge depending on depth of shelf / size of books.

Raccoons and racism in the rafters

Imagine writing a book so successful they sell it at the top of Sears Tower 20 years later.

@book_historia Only if you’re going to stop curating the vibe? I should hope not. It needs it.

@writesloud Highly recommend @drinkaurabora for a happy drink that provides… mixology-like interest but without the booze

@SophieHaigney This is the thing about book clubs. I’d prefer just to join a book people club but we all get to read whatever we want?

@credenzaclear2 Huge fan of curiosity and humility. Also a life without back and forth sounds incredibly boring?

@briancassidy Podcast - Sixty Songs That Explain the Nineties. And I’m not really a music person.

Have always though I (private librarian) should take my husband (therapist) on the road to our home library projects that involve conflicted book lovers, dramatic decisions to be made. I envision a time slot somewhere between the Great British Baking Show and Pawn Stars.

[Jonathan Edward Durham @thisone0verhere]

I would like a TV show where a librarian and a woodworker travel around helping people manage their book collections. Talk about their favorites, which ones are valuable, which ones they might donate, then build shelves and book nooks and libraries to organize them.

@Kim_Mawhinney Is this the author talk I attended last night?

[Christy at Foxtail Books @FoxtailBooks]

@_megconley This confused me as well. Perhaps worthy of a local or regional newspaper but international?
