Less than a year left before we hopefully go to Japan! If you want to donate to the trip, you can do it here: PayPal.me/panediting I'm a bookseller. I make more now than I did at BN, but it's sill retail. Japan has been a 30-year dream! I hope to get some Japanese versions of my favorite books 😁

Have a book cover that matches my hair? Show me! I really do like trolling around the bookstore finding covers that match my hair. It's blurry because my hands shake sometimes but The God and the Gumiho as some colors that match! Red, magenta, pink, purple all work! 😁❤️💜💖

This amalgamation of red, purple, and pink comes from a leftover bottle of Splat Midnight Ruby slapped onto faded blue hair! I love keeping partial bottles under the sink. It's like a lovely surprise! All 3 photos show my new pink/magenta/red/purple hair in sunlight and artificial light!

CW food! Went to the local Asian grocery and got whole fish, whole shrimps, napa, mushrooms, noodles, shrimp paste. My 12yo cooked it! I was there to supervise. I promise there are noodles and mushrooms under the napa, fish, and shrimps. 😅

It's raining. I cleared out 10k emails from my email. I rewarded myself by untangling these earbuds. Kiddo gave them to me because they know I love doing this.

I work incredibly hard. Not just the backend stuff like receiving and shelving. But the selling. Not even bn acknowledged my 100 sales of 3 titles because my store mgr never sent them in. TorDotCom sent me an illustration! So I do have that. It's me on a throne of Gideon!

Gonna do this piecemeal. First is the box a bunch came in. They're in amazing condition! The yellow edges are incredibly bright. First is Master of Middle Earth. Look at that COVER. The quill. The hair. The background! The soft lighting and cozy feels makes me wanna crawl into the illustration. 🕯️

I'm excited for my next edition of it that a friend found for me! 😭
