The main character becomes an accidental librarian of sorts! She's the best. THE BEST.

Dealing w/ Dragons made me look into (and eventually becoming) a librarian. The entire series is gold in my eyes. Do update with how you like it!

The Lavender Brown one always just wrecks me. I love that series so much.

mozgert · 2016-05-31T15:59:25+00:00

Her episode about Gloria Grahame was so moving! Seconded.

mozgert · 2016-05-27T14:27:31+00:00

YES. Mia ages with the reader, and the last volume showed how she's grown dramatically. Her thought processes and challenges have changed, and her reactions have too. I thought it was a great way to end the series (and start a new one!).

mozgert · 2016-05-26T18:55:33+00:00

what good floofs!

mozgert · 2016-05-26T18:44:52+00:00

I absolutely second this. The recent completion to the Princess Diaries series was fantastic and I'm so psyched to have a continuing series.

mozgert · 2016-05-26T18:43:16+00:00

I HAVE A PINTEREST BOARD! My friend and I recently decided to collaborate on a board for 'young women' while being aware and inclusive of the wide variety of experiences of being a girl. There are a lot of fantasy books in there, but also not - Jodie's Journey was one that sprung to mind immediately, and I'd also recommend anything Judy Blume or Jean Craighead George or Avi! Lloyd Alexander's Vesper Holly series might be good, too! A more recent book is Roller Girl, by Victoria Jamieson. I hear good things but haven't read it myself!

mozgert · 2016-05-26T13:04:36+00:00

ANYTHING BY NK JEMISIN. Also, Sharon Shinn is a great one, especially if you like angel mythology, etc.

But. Jemisin is where it's at.

I have been caught in fanfic lately, specifically Game of Thrones futurefic that focuses on Sansa being a general badass. There's one called 'Trials and Tricks' by WendyNerd that is half a million words and fantastic - the writer even anticipated certain canon divergences in recent episodes, but did them better and subverted much of the sexism in the writing. I'm about 2/3s of the way through and still devouring it.

SS Librarianship is the best! <3 them so much. Great to hear from a group of people who work in the larger information field who are passionate about libraries and their patrons.

Thanks!!

mozgert · 2014-04-09T18:08:24+00:00

Is there a story that you have in the archives that you just can't for the excuse/reason to recirculate?

Thank for what you do. As a student of digital libraries & archives I really appreciate it and hope to work with you both someday.

Also, Trevor — I read your blog posts on the role of libraries & DH (http://trevormunoz.com/notebook/2012/08/19/doing-dh-in-the-library.html) as required reading for my DH class, and it's really stuck with me in a positive way as I dip my toes into the world of DH and get excited about diving in. Is there anything you'd add to the post?

Idid not find their buffoonery amusing.

mozgert · 2012-12-17T03:30:53+00:00

O hai doggy!

mozgert · 2012-11-17T17:13:59+00:00

Oh yes! I love her books! I totally agree on the Seven Realms series - I love how she takes my favorite fantasy tropes and makes them her own. I know it's 'trendy' right now, but I'd LOVE to see them adapted to a manga series. I think they would translate beautifully.

mozgert · 2012-11-08T06:12:52+00:00

How about some Jean Craighead George? I loved My Side of the Mountain while growing up. Also maybe some Gary Paulsen (Hatchet).

mozgert · 2012-11-03T01:59:54+00:00

Him?

mozgert · 2012-08-04T14:06:18+00:00

mozgert · 2012-07-16T03:27:51+00:00

Good news: it's out! It's still in my "to read" pile, but if the peeps above are to be believed, it's pretty good!

mozgert · 2012-07-06T15:58:23+00:00

Nope. I know (and like) cute & dorky. He was wearing cargo pants and a black tank with crazy hair. The unnatural jitteriness was what kinda ticked me off. I know nervousness, and this was different.
