Between vacation, conference attendance, picking up a zine collection donation (Thank you, ♥Cheryl Tapper♥!!!) and Labor Day, I cataloged zines only once in August and in September so far. I've been missing my beloveds, so hooray!
Zine Librarians (un)Conference zines, accompanied by a disgusting recipe with a note to me on the back.
Gift of the Creator(s)
6th Annual Zine Librarians (un)Conference, compiled by Kelly Wooten, 2014
Kelly thoughtfully included a recipe she knew I would enjoy.
If you're like me, this table of contents alone will bring you joy:

Ker-bloom! #107: So Many Books, So Little Time by artnoose, 2014
"A miniature form of vertigo hit my lower stomach as I calculated that I would just not live long enough to read all the books I wanted."
I feel the SAME way about my to-read lists! I've got about 400 books on them and can't refrain from adding more, all the time. I do read nearly 100 books a year, but I'll still never catch up.
"I put an artificial restriction on the number of books on my to-read list. ... I put a moratorium on desire until I make it through at least one of the books on my list."
