On this epic weekend, it’s another epic Stacking the Shelves post. I think it’s going to be like this until well into May at the rate things are going.
But there’s no other weekend quite like this one, as Reading Reality’s 10th Blogoversary is tomorrow, my birthday is Monday, tomorrow is both the last day of Passover AND Easter Sunday, and National Library Week begins. It’s a lot.
I still have no idea either what I want FOR my birthday or what I want to DO for my birthday. Some of that is the year of COVID, as going out to celebrate still feels unsafe and wanting anything bigger than a breadbox feels both ridiculous and superfluous. I suspect I’ll have much bigger and better ideas next year!
