The origin of #nerdinabarwithabook Any bar though, not really a hotel bar.
I'm the super awkward chick who thought sitting at the bar and reading a book sounded fun and now wishes she'd made a different choice and is ordering a second drink though she meant only to have one because she's nervous.

So, a week or so ago, I'm at a local watering hole, trying to read a book as I do, and some weird guy sits down and invades my space. I'm like, dude, take a hint. Then he says, Oh hey, I know @timwaggoner.bsky.social ! He writes scary books!" #nerdinabarwithabook
