Sshhh, don't tell anyone, but I've never read a Terry Pratchett novel either! I will someday, but lately almost all my book binges have been nonfiction. Can't wait to see what inspiration you take from these!
The children's spaces in your local library are AMAZING! I've never seen such a large and varied play area in a library. Granted, the kids' areas aren't something I usually check out, and I've only visited maybe 15 libraries in my whole life. But still! It's wonderful that they have that sort of play space available, since so many kids don't have the luxury of kitchen playsets, train playsets, etc.
Part of me wishes we had such wonderful things when I was a kid, and part of me is glad the focus was more on books, since it encouraged me to read more. Though I do remember our library having quite a few board games as well. I suspect the dearth of kid-centric stuff where I grew up is related to the fact that I grew up in an area dominated by retirees. Though you'd think they'd want nice things for their grandkids...
Anyhoo, I'm rambling, and it isn't even on my own post. 😅 Thank you for sharing!

Oh my gosh! I am so relieved to hear that I am not the only one who hasn't read a Terry Pratchet book! It's like ONLY the coolest people who tell me to, but I've just never gotten around to it 😂
Your secret is safe with me, as long as you don't tell on me either! 😉 !LOLZ
What kinda nonfiction are you vibing with these days? Any book in particular that you loved?
Haha I ADORED the library rambling! 😍 It's so cool to hear about your experiences and connection to library spaces. I'm with you, we didn't have anything this cool when I was a nugget, or maybe I just didn't know about it either haha!
I'm so crazy grateful to have found this spot as a mom though, it's not so far away that I can't run to it on difficult days... which has legit SAVED me!
So flipping true, a train table is a few hundred dollars 😵 I looked for one secondhand for a long while, but never lucked out. Maybe it's good, it makes it that much more special when we go to the library 😄💚
Thanks for the stellar comment !LADY! 💃

My nonfiction reads the past few months have been largely about neuroscience, tilting heavily toward the causes and effects of ADHD, and what can be done about them when you can't take stimulant meds (like me). Also, how to pull oneself out of the pit of despair that is having chronic illness. But I like neuroscience, psychology, and self-help stuff in general as well. Every once in a while I dip into stuff on the death care industry, though I don't even know why that holds my interest so well. Probably because it's still a nearly taboo subject, and yet there are so many fascinating tidbits to be learned. I also listened to a long (long, looooong) biography of Nikola Tesla a couple months ago. That man was remarkable in so many ways.
I actually want to start talking about some of the books I've read and stuff I've learned in my Hive posts, but picking just one is difficult.
I'm glad you have such a lovely library near you to "save" you. Or maybe it's just saving your sanity. :D I'm also curious what sorts of libraries you will find when you start traveling...
