Circulation just sent me this book, which apparently is actually the halves of TWO different books bound together accidentally by our commercial binder.
As far as I can tell, the first half of the book is “What we talk about when we talk about love" by Raymond Carver, and the second half is a book by Jilly Cooper, whose work we do not actually have listed in our library catalog. In other words, one of these books IS from our library, and the other is probably from some other library. So that means there might be another library book floating around with the first half of Jilly Cooper’s book, and another book with the last half of our copy of Raymond Carver’s book.
Sigh.
[ID: Three images. Top, a post-it note scrawled with the legend “The last chapter does not appear to belong to this book”. Beneath it is a photograph of the book being held open, showing the final chapter’s first page; the title on the page opposing it is different. Bottom image is just Jackie Chan looking confused and annoyed.]
It reminds me of the time I got a copy of “if on a winter’s night a traveler” by Italo Calvino, a book about incomplete books, for seventeen cents because it was missing two pages.
And also the time someone bought one of my books, but the publisher sent them my cover…wrapped around a typeset Harry Potter fanfic. But, crucially, not my Harry Potter fanfic.
When I worked at the bookstore, we had a woman come in, furious and ranting about “our hatred of religion.” Since my store had a pretty extensive religious studies section that was actually curated by an ex-Trappist monk with careful consideration to a lot of other religions, we were a bit surprised.
Turns out she’d bought a book from us called “The Proof of God” and due to a printing error, it was blank. The whole book, was just blank. She did not take this well.
We gave her a full refund. The ex-monk bought it for his collection.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

literally cannot believe "first ever live action omegaverse show" is not bigger news on tumblr
The live action omegaverse show about racecar drivers!
It's not just A/B/O, it's Isekai A/B/O.
My mistake, these are two different live-action Omegaverse shows.
Pit Babe is a Thai show about Omegaverse racecar drivers.
Couple Or Not is a Chinese show about a guy being Isekai'd into an Omegaverse parallel universe where he's mpreg with his Alpha rival's child.

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"
