i updated the fiddy, but was not able to write all of my “reviews”. sorry, but i’m still working a lot and the RBC house is still there with work needing to be done and i’m just too tired to write anything else.

i love you.

the Judy Blume Lady came back to the library on saturday. she tossed the Little House book on the desk in front of me and said, “i told you she wouldn’t like it.”

this? this pissed me off. she tossed the book. it hit the desk. loud. and it startled me. cos i was typing up new applications and i did not see her approach the desk. and then? to be all, “i told you…” well that did not go over well with me. so what did i do?

i just looked at her. didn’t say a thing.

so she says, “she just really likes those Judy Blume books.”

“…”

“if there was just some book or some way you could look up books that are like Judy Blume books…”

“do you have the internet at home?”

“yes.”

“then you can look up what books are similar to Judy Blume’s books. and? i also suggest that you bring your daughter to the library next time so she can choose her own books.”

yes, i was that snotty. i’m not helping this woman ever again.

so she leaves and comes back an hour later with her daughter. and she marches up to the desk with a Betsy Byars book.

“the internet says Betsy Byars is like Judy Blume!”

“…does it.”

“yeah, have you ever heard of Betsy Byars?”

“um, are you sure that’s a level 5 book?”

she says to the daughter, “tell her you hated that other book.”

the daughter says, “i only read 6 pages of it.”

that’s it. i’m out. i’m pretty certain the book they checked out wasn’t a 5th grade book…more like 3rd or 4th, but screw it. i’m done with that lady.
