“What is a game? It's tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It's the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.” ―from Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

Holidays got you busier than usual? Well...have you ever heard of our personal YA Book Bag service? All you gotta do is fill out a form (link in our bio!) with your information and reading preferences, and our teen librarian will pick 5 books that she thinks you will like and then you come and pick them up! It's a great way to find something new, explore different genres, or see what the latest books to hit the shelves are! And as always...it is a completely free service 😊

Made my first Tiktok!!!

Kind of fucking terrified, but. You know.

7 Deadly Habits, an urban fantasy adventure with romance and dark comedy, available here.

Full description below:

Transcribed-

Twenty-three-year-old CEO Don Francisco wants one of the richest women in the world dead. Which one? Daphne Oakland: actress, model, heir to the Oakland financial empire, and unbeknownst to the general public, talented demon summoner. But since Francisco isn’t nearly as rich as the established Oakland family, he hires the only assassin he can afford: Sebastián Monterey, a down-on-his-luck, struggling demon summoner, the cheapest and lowest ranking one there is.

But Monterey is nothing like Cisco expected. He’s high-spirited, reckless, relentlessly cheerful …and worse, he’s a bit of a slut. The CEO is horrified to find out that Monterey has not just one, but seven angry exes in the killing business, who will stop at nothing to get in the way of an already impossible hit. Not only do they have personal reasons for wanting to see their former lover dead, they also have professional reasons: they are all currently employed by the Oakland family members!

To make matters worse, Monterey finds out the Oaklands are each protecting a demon ritual artifact for Daphne. When brought together, all 7 can be used to summon a demon more powerful than any currently contracted on earth. If he is to carry out this hit at all, he’ll have to interfere with the summon by stealing every artifact, and maybe even summon the demon before Daphne can.

But that's only if none of his exes kill him first!

Watch Tobias Menzies read an extract from Mater 2-10, the #InternationalBooker2024-shortlisted novel written by Hwang Sok-yong and translated by Sora Kim-Russell and Youngjae Josephine Bae

Directed by Charlotte Hamblin for Merman.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE International Booker–---nominated virtuoso Hwang Sok-yong is back with another powerful story — an epic tale that threads together a century of Korean history. In contemporary Seoul, a laid-off worker stages a months-long sit-in atop a sixteen-storey factory chimney.

During the long and lonely nights, he talks to his ancestors, chewing on the meaning of life, on wisdom passed down the generations. Through the lives of those ancestors, three generations of railroad workers, Mater 2-10 vividly portrays the struggles of ordinary Koreans, starting from the Japanese colonial era, continuing through Liberation, and right up to the twenty-first century.

It is at once a gripping account of a nation’s longing to be free from oppression, a lyrical folktale that reflects the blood, sweat, and tears shed by modern industrial labourers, and a culmination of Hwang’s career — a masterpiece thirty years in the making. A true voice of a generation, Hwang shows again why he is unmatched when it comes to depicting the roots and reality of a divided nation and bringing to life the trials and tribulations of the Korean people.

@ The Booker Prizes

Absolutely brilliant, Tobias Menzies! 🤩 Just his facial expressions show the audience his level of acting 🎭

Yes, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a love story, but unlike any you have read before. Sam and Sadie—two college friends, often in love, but never lovers—become creative partners in a dazzling and intricately imagined world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. Gabrielle Zevin’s X novel examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect.
