Library, Monday
Tip had promised Astrid more book recommendations next time she stopped by, and as a result ended up spending most of her night thinking about different authors she'd forgotten to recommend. So today she was setting up her very first library recommendation display full of black female authors, making full use of google as she went to make sure she got in some good realistic authors, since her own tastes tended to run towards magical realism and flat-out fantasy.
Which admittedly were a lot more "realistic" in terms of Fandom, but probably wouldn't be seen as such by people like Astrid.
She ended up with way more books than she could fit onto one small table display, and ended up sitting on the floor in front of it, reading through the back covers and first couple chapters of the ones she hadn't read yet to try and pick which should get included. But really, how did you pick just one Nalo Hopkinson? Or Zora Neale Hurston? Or Roxanne Gay? Or . . . .
This was probably going to be Tip's least productive and yet favorite library shift ever.
