Good work, child witches.
What do your kids do to invoke a snow day? I’m hearing plans for backwards jammies and spoons under pillows.

I would love to say that the best thing I read in 2025 was something gorgeous and meaningful like Martyr! or Wild Dark Shore*, but if I’m being absolutely honest my favourite read of the year was the absolutely bonkers Dungeon Crawler Carl.
* I did absolutely love these gorgeous books.
