Welcome to Tell Me Something Tuesday! For today's "something," we're talking about books I'm desperate to read right now. Do you have a book sitting on your shelf that you really want to read, but you just haven't read it for some reason? I do. My reason is work. I'm impatiently waiting for winter so my work hours get cut down, and I have more time to read. Until then, these books will be sitting on my shelf, taunting me.

Guess what? I got more books! I know I've been too busy to read much lately, but that hasn't stopped books from showing up on my doorstep. Once they're here, I can't turn them away. That would be rude. I'm already planning ahead for Nonfiction November, so you'll see a few nonfiction books in this haul. Also, horror! Spooky season is coming, people! And, there's a random YA contemporary novel-in-verse because it sounds excellent.

Tell Me Something Tuesday: Weird Things Visitors Say In State Parks


Today, we're trying something new. Welcome to Tell Me Something Tuesday. This is a post where I tell you something . . . on a Tuesday. For today's "something," I'm talking about my job. For the past few years, I've worked in revenue and visitor services for a state park. On a typical weekend day, I interact with around 300 visitors. It's intense. And nonstop. For example, I went back to work fulltime a few days after I got my first COVID shot. In my first week back at fulltime work, I got cussed at and flipped off by several unhappy campers. I dealt with long lines and broken equipment. A dog attacked a cyclist, and then the cyclist attacked the dog’s owner. A homeless woman experienced some highly confusing mental health issues. I froze in a snowstorm. I helped settle a few domestic squabbles. I could keep listing problems, but you get the idea. This is what I do all day.

Since I spend so much time interacting with weird and wonderful people, I thought I'd share a few of the memorable visitor interactions I've had the misfortune pleasure of handling.
