Library Haul: Hispanic Heritage Month Edition


RabbitKM

1,569 views

I went to the library today and here is what I got!  Today is the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, so I mostly picked out some books by Latino/a authors.  I actually wasn't planning ahead for this theme and didn't request any of them, so I just kinda found these by browsing the shelves.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (DVD) 

Esperanza Street by Niyati Keni 

Ways of Going Home by Alejandro Zambra (I think I will read this one first!)

My Documents by Alejandro Zambra

The Story of My Teeth by Valeria Luiselli

The Miracle of Castel di Sangro by Joe McGinniss (my BF requested this one so I picked it up for him lol)

 

What are you reading this month?

I got Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian at a thrift store last week. It's pretty interesting so far, but I haven't been racing through it like novels by my favorite authors. I guess I don't know enough about late 18th century sailing ships to read it very quickly. :my_blush:

      I was returning a blu-ray last week and walked in the door to hear a guy screaming about "that crazy bitch."  Then security hustled him out the door.  The kids aren't allowed to run or yell either.  It's surprising they are maintaining some standards.

      The most tense place I have ever been is a Holocaust Museum where several people were being disrespectful and a brawl broke out right next to me. This was maybe the 3rd HM we have visited. I told my husband that’s enough. No more of those. I know what happened and have seen enough. 

      I work at a library and I can tell you that no one behaves the way they used to, especially the kids. We are supposed to let them just be themselves, meanwhile sometimes it is a circus. I'm so glad I don't work in the public area anymore because it used to get me so angry. If you let them run around and do what they want, how are they going to behave elsewhere? And what will happen when they get older? How can they learn? Now, I'm not saying we need absolute silence but there are people who are trying to study and like the library as a quiet and peaceful place.

      The worst case of this was at Anne Franks house 2 years ago. Everyone respectfully murmurs - same as in a library. A group of high school aged children were running through the rooms and watching stuff on mobile phones with the volume on. Not one teacher said anything. They were there! 
      A few visitors did have a word with them. Things didn’t improve though.

      Whatever the results were for the recent scan...if it was showing the cancer shrinking to nothing, they'd be shouting the good news from the rooftops, right? 

      My recent experiences with MRI were that the results were read by the radiologist and posted in the patient portal within a day or two and I assume other scans would be equally speedy.
