I thought about dressing up like a blogger, but I realized everyone around me has done that already. Instead, I packed my cat ears and nose (don’t worry: they’re fake) and am wearing them. Other people are in costumes here, too. A well-known librarian who’s a moderator dressed as a witch. Awesome! It’s nice to […]
