Books aren’t dead. Not even non-fiction books.
If you’re in publishing or care about nonfiction books, this is for you: The Times recently told us all that nonfiction was in crisis. I read the piece and thought “No, they’re missing almost the whole story.” So here’s the whole story. millersbookreview.com/p/is-t…
I'm incredibly honored to be selected, as one of 11 teams, for a 2026 @schmidtsciences HAVI Development Award. I'll be working with the brilliant
@maria_antoniak and @mellymeldubs on #Borges, generative AI, imaginary books, and many things in between. An absolute dream! 📚💻

Fun fact about "Don Quixote," first published on this day in 1605: The publisher, not anticipating its popularity, secured publication rights only for Spain's Castile region. Pirated editions appeared in Valencia & Lisbon within months! The Library has copies of both the original & pirated editions.

The best thing is when my ILL materials come from one of my favorite places @UVALibrary 💕📚
Today, on Borges’s birthday, it feels appropriate to celebrate that there are only three weeks until the release of the @OUPAcademic Handbook of Borges 🎉📚

Anyone I know headed to Buenos Aires in the coming weeks/months? I have a bit of a book acquisition situation that I need help with 🙏📚

Submissions open til June 15 for the 2024 Honey & Wax Book Collecting Prize! Over the next seven days, we’ll be celebrating our first seven winners. Today: 2017 H&W Prize winner, librarian Jessica Hubbard, for her collection “Romance Novels of the Jazz Age and Depression Eras.”
Why is every single end-of-the-year reception, luncheon, "thanks for being awesome!" cocktail hour held on Reading Day? Can't we spread out these celebratory events during the *whole* month of April?? Asking for...me.
I think I've been invited to at least five different celebratory functions on our Reading Day @universityofga @UGAResearch
TFW you receive article proofs and your OUP Handbook proofs at the same time and have a mere two weeks to turn them in. Oh, and it's the end of the semester #thoughtsandprayers 🙏😱🤣📚
Finally emerging from the chaos of this spring to share the happy news (fashionably late) that I received tenure! 🎉🧁🙌🏻 📚👩🏼🏫 @universityofga @UGARomLang @UGAResearch
TFW you realize that your article on Borges and Whitman happens to appear in a Special Issue dedicated to Rosalía ✨🎉💃🎶📚
