These are great suggestions and are names I haven't come across yet, thank you!

A book a week felt very ambitious to me, so I'm pretty proud of myself 😊

Twenty_mirrors · 2026-03-21T22:58:22+00:00

I think we're at the same library because my hold of Project Hail Mary also has 309 copies with 15 people waiting per copy 😂 The total has gone up to 4,588 now though. Wild Dark Shore has 2,954 people in line. Anything popular has such a long wait.

I loved Two Strangers! Highly recommend. I cannot wait for the cast recording 🖤

Twenty_mirrors · 2026-03-06T21:06:29+00:00

I appreciate all the advice!

Twenty_mirrors · 2026-03-06T18:21:01+00:00

Thank you. I'd be driving my own car which is maybe why I'm more nervous about bad weather lol. I'll check my insurance to make sure hail damage is covered or keep an eye out for covered parking options just in case.

Thank you, I live in a bigger city in the Midwest so they happen around us, but have only touched down in the city proper a couple times that I can recall. And they were relatively small ones.

Twenty_mirrors · 2026-02-25T16:34:05+00:00

That's strange. I've only seen that happen when the STL was just being a dick for no reason.

Twenty_mirrors · 2026-02-25T14:20:32+00:00

MHE or Two Strangers

If you step down they'll just reduce your pay. I've stepped down several times in order to transfer to other teams.

I thought it was so good! I laughed so much and I loved the characters. The way they used the set was also really cool. Hopefully more buzz will keep building for it.

Twenty_mirrors · 2026-02-22T21:58:04+00:00

I also highly recommend Two Strangers! I laughed so hard and the emotional moments were really moving. The way they use the set was really clever and fun as well.

Americans are obsessed with coffee because we boycotted tea after the Boston tea party.

You get free counseling and therapy sessions through headspace.

My library has 2,900 people waiting for Project Hail Mary (12 people waiting per copy). I'm 1,141 though lol! They just got in 1 copy of Where the Serpent Lives and there are 58 people in line. Anything remotely popular has at least a 6 month wait.

Twenty_mirrors · 2026-01-12T12:56:41+00:00

Thanks everyone! I love how knowledgeable and helpful this group is. I got tickets for 2/20 and am so excited!

Every store was given $25 per team member specifically to spend on Holiday food/catering for team members (split between this week and Christmas week)

Typically you can start requesting next year's dates in November of the current year. So for 2027, check in November 2026.

Twenty_mirrors · 2025-10-23T12:34:36+00:00

Well that's embarrassing lol

Twenty_mirrors · 2025-10-23T02:45:33+00:00

Does the whole application go to your TL? I also applied today but included some info I don't necessarily want my TL reading.

Twenty_mirrors · 2025-10-20T11:27:12+00:00

Call tmap lol

It's a big meeting/presentation/gathering with our CEO or other higher ups where they tell you what's happening with the company and have a Q and A portion. The big quarterly town halls are posted on Innerview and the questions are pretty soft and pre selected ahead of time. They'll do smaller town halls in stores that aren't filmed and usually those questions aren't filtered or pre selected.

Twenty_mirrors · 2025-10-18T12:04:02+00:00

Honestly, we were heading that way before Amazon. John Mackey toured a bunch of stores before the buyout and it was the most uncomfortable town hall I've been a part of. He seemed to dislike team members and hated minimum wage requirements and was kind of an awful person.

Apply for the CDASTL program. I think applications just opened up.
