As a literary scholar, I have to say I absolutely love Victorian literature in all its forms. As a bibliographer, I detest it with every fiber of my being and want to put my head through a wall.

The submission form for the #RBMS23 Conference, "A New Kind of Professional," is now open! We hope you'll join us in June, either in Bloomington at the beautiful @IULillyLibrary or virtually.

The application deadline for our Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in #criticalbibliography has been extended to Mon 11/28. Please share widely with your colleagues! https://t.co/25oOyTg88t #rarebookschool #rarebooks #fellowships #sofcb

The Rare Books and Manuscripts Department @HeritageAuction is headed to the #bostonbookfair! Looking forward to reconnecting with old friends and meeting some news ones. @BostonBookFair

I love my job

Been waiting a while to share this with you guys. Not one, but TWO early drafts of #GameofThrones, the first time such an item has come to market. Featured in our #Historical Platinum Auction on December 1 @HeritageAuction #bookstagram #BookTwitter #rarebooks #GOT #manuscripts

As many in the #BookHistory community are moving to other social media sites, I have also created an account with Mastodon as well. Feel free to connect! @huntergatherer@mastodon.sdf.org #twitter2mastodon

Though not my usual material, I felt this was quite appropriate for the day (please excuse my Buc-ees espresso beans in the background - it's been a LONG day) #halloweenbooks #sendak #heritageauctions

Come work with me @HeritageAuction! Great opportunity to build and expand the existing department and mentor young professionals (aka. me!) in the rare book community. Positions are open in Dallas, New York, and London. #rarebooks #manuscripts #heritageauctions #auctionhouse

Does anyone else just get absolutely pissed when it's pouring down rain outside and you aren't allowed to skip work, stay inside, and read a book all day? Because the struggle is real.
