At another beautiful writing retreat at Willistead Manor today. It’s so beautiful and my writing partner and I have been super productive! We edited our book chapter, worked on a proposal and wrote the outline for an article we’re going to start writing! . . . . . . #amwriting #historic #historylover #architecture #productivity #librariansofinstagram #librarian #academia #uwindsor #willisteadmanor #writing #writersofinstagram #write #writinglife #writelife #writingretreat
This #traveltuesday I'm reminiscing about visiting Tobermory, Ontario last summer. Highlights were Flower Pot Island and seeing shipwrecks, but this cute little library on the harbour was absolutely adorable! . . . . . . #amreading #library #librariesofinstagram #librarian #booklover #booknerd #bookworm #travel #wanderlust #bibliophile #bookaholic #cozy #readingnook #tobermory #ontario #canada #brucecountypubliclibrary #publiclibrary #books #book #booktree #read #reading #vintage
New book review! "The Boy in the Suitcase" by Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis. The first in the Nina Borg series. . Read the full review at: https://powerlibrarian.wordpress.com (link in bio). . Synopsis: . Nina Borg's old friend Karin gives her a key and tells her to follow her vague instructions, to go to the train station to pick up what's in a locker, no questions asked. When Nina does this, she finds a suitcase with a tiny three-year-old boy inside. He's still alive. Nina hurries back to Karin to demand answers, but she discovers that her friend has been brutally murdered. Nina knows that her life--and the little boy's--are also in danger. . I recommend this book to anyone who wants to dip their toes into a Nordic Noir mystery, but doesn't know where to start. It isn't as dark as others I've read, and it's much easier to follow--both because of the writing style and because there aren't quite as many different characters to keep track of. . ✩ ✩ ✩ . . . . . #amreading #bookreview #booklover #bibliophile #bookstagram #book #books #bookphotography #booksbooksbooks #amreadingthriller #nordicnoir #thriller #goodreads #instareads #reading #read #readersofinstagram #ninaborg #booklove #onemorechapter #bookworm #booknerd #bookish #bookaddict #bookaholic #readingisfun
Does anyone else have an insatiable need for office supplies? I'm not just talking notebooks and pens... I bought this GORGEOUS stamp set at @jones.and.company yesterday. I'm in love! 😍 . It's super professional because it has an "Urgent!" stamp in it. It's also keeping me motivated this Monday morning!🤓✍️📖 Also: The cactus is an eraser. 😎#productivity #mondaymornings . . . . #amwriting #officesupplies #kittens #cactus #stamps #goals #motivationmonday #motivation #ilovemyjob #hardwork #inspiration #library #librarylife #work #office #officelife #schoolsupplies #notebook #writingcommunity
I'm so excited to announce that one of my favourite colleagues and I will be giving a webinar with the Education Institute in a couple of weeks! We will be talking about wellness initiatives in academic libraries--although everything we're talking about is applicable across sectors. We'll be discussing different types of projects that you can take on throughout the academic year, with tips on how to achieve big ideas with a small budget (which is something all librarians have to be mindful of!) Mark your calendars: Tuesday, April 23rd at 12PM - 1PM . Link in bio! . . . . #library #librarian #lifeoflibrarians #librarylife #academia #academiclibraries #librarianship #publiclibraries #health #wellness #mentalhealth #ontariolibraryassociation #ilovemyjob #librariansofinstagram
A cute little music bookstore that I passed on my road trip up north to Bruce Peninsula last summer. It was raining, and the picture came out quite spooky... . #Campnanowrimo update: I'm still on a roll with the short stories! Every day I'm worried I won't be able to write one, but I find a prompt and the words just flow! . QOTD: How's you're writing/reading going? . . . . #tbt #bookstore #bookshop #music #booklover #bibliophile #bookaholic #mural #booknerd #architecture #booknerd #bookworm #bookish #bookstagram #buildings #history #amwriting #inspiration #muse #booklove #roadtrip #photography #throwbackthursday
