My personal booklists are finally ready!
Here's a little explanation of what this Twitter account is for, along with some lists of books I like. I would also like to know what books you like! Take a look: https://t.co/XYcp34Ie3J

@ab81 The one on the left kind of looks like David Rose.

@kittenpie I endorse this idea

[TPLWendy @TPLWendy]

@AimseyG Plum full of bug juice

[TPLWendy @TPLWendy]

@itscmwong I've cried literal tears. Somehow it's a symbol for a lot of good stuff I/ we've lost.

[TPLWendy @TPLWendy]

@itscmwong Good to know. I am still unreasonably sad about the loss of Honest Ed's.

[TPLWendy @TPLWendy]

@AimseyG Oh nooooo

@CromartyHeather @torontolibrary *psst* the answer is: 179 - if you wait a while and scroll down in the catalogue record, the # of books on order should show, like:

@hadoherty Thank you!

[TPLWendy @TPLWendy]

@hadoherty Oh yes it is!!!

[TPLWendy @TPLWendy]

Be happy https://t.co/IsZ6mkYdR8

@carobeelove @itscmwong Yup. This is infuriating.

[TPLWendy @TPLWendy]

@pamryan If she wants fun, sweet and fast-moving, but isn't in the mood for *too* much sentiment(?) I'd recommend Maria Semple - Today Will Be Different or Where'd You Go, Bernadette? (Not if there's surgery involved, though - there are laugh-out-loud moments that could hurt.)

@itscmwong I think most if the collection is still at TRL, if you're missing the books more than the building.

@maureenailis @TPLMaggie @TPLChristie @TPLBRNDN The public library was important to me as a kid, and I worked my way through uni shelving books. It was my backup income when I was freelancing, and eventually I discovered I could do a lot of the things I like here (writing, web stuff, social media, talking about books).

@kercoby So interesting! Gen X here. Embarrassingly, I use ellipses and I don't even know why. Sometimes it reminds me of how George Herriman uses em-dashes in Krazy Kat cartoons, as a marker of a stream of consciousness? As opposed to a more formal, deliberate way of writing?
