[i-eta-pi]

I work in a college library these days and I love dressing up for Halloween (unlike my coworkers) so I always go looking for library appropriate costumes to wear. While on my 23rd hour of research I found an old Reddit post that contained a photo of a school librarian who dressed up as a book reaper for Halloween and went and collected overdue books. I, of course, thought this was brilliant and wanted to recreate this for my own Halloween costume.

I decided to go a step further with my creativity however and call my book reaping self The Grim Reader and go with a traditional black cape and make my scythe out of a book, using the pages as the staff portion and the cover of the book as the actual pointy bit. I even designed cover art for my book as I am a graphic design artist for the library.

I went further and created an ID badge photo (since we have to wear our college IDs while on duty) and taped it over my photo. I wore a black cape over my normally all black attire and that is my costume! I'm gonna need some other librarians and library workers to bring this idea to life in other places. I feel the costume is too good to waste away to nothing on the internets

#pungeonsanddragons • Bad puns of Dungeons & Dragons monsters: 112623 • Spined Devil • aka Spinago -winged porcupine-like devils that resembled small gargoyles, and they emitted high-pitched giggles that had the other devils found obnoxious and grating. They delivered messages to other, more powerful members of their kind. Covered in spines and ironically completely spineless, they were often bullied by other intelligent devils due to their weaknesses. They could only torment the few beings weaker than them in turn. I used to work at Borders and the UH campus library - So I've always been surrounded by books 🙂

• Keep smiling and stay safe, everyone! 🙂

PHOTOS: Some Say Nebraska's Flag Stinks — And They've Got Ideas To Fix It

State Sen. Burke Harr says Nebraska's state flag flapped upside-down for 10 days at the Capitol earlier this year — and no one even noticed. Now, he's on a crowdsourced quest to redesign it.
