Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Wendy, Librarian Queen Of The Universe!

I got really good news yesterday. Not only did I get a very nice annual evaluation from my boss, she also gave me a very nice raise. So hopefully I'll start seeing a little extra on my paychecks by the end of the month.

In other news, my employer didn't reimburse me for my trip to Reno for RWA back in July - but they let me go on company time. This meant I didn't have to dip into my own stash of vacation time. The catch being that I would have do a presentation upon my return for all of the adult services librarians. Guess what I'm doing on Thursday?

I'm all set to go. I whipped up a PowerPoint presentation, got a handy list of web sites together and even rounded up some giveaways. RWA sent me some stuff (rulers, buttons, bookmarks), plus I'll be giving away from autographed books I got in Reno.

I'm rather looking forward to it. Finally a chance to educate other librarians and show off my romance geek tendencies!

Appreciate you spreading the word! Have you read Ain't She Sweet? by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Besides being a really fun read, it's a tribute to romance novels. I do think it would make a great introduction for anyone who is not familiar with the genre (and maybe a little snobby about it).
