For the last few years, I have been sharing my annual list of book recommendations for Jólabókaflóð. We didn't talk about this tradition during our last Friday tea, but giving books for the holidays really is one of my favourite things to do!

My sister knit me these socks last year for the holidays and I absolutely love them. Couldn’t wait for it to get cold enough again to pull them out.

Now she’s selling them (and dog sweaters) in her own shop. www.etsy.com/shop/KnitPur...

One of my favorite short stories I've read this year is "Charged and Ready" by T.M. Kuta. It's a smutty queer M/F sci-fi short story with lots of feelings between two best friends who finally sleep together.

One of our cats was sitting on a small rug by the window. I moved the blinds so he could sit on the rug without sitting in the blinds.

Turns out it was never about the rug.

My darlings, I'm mostly here to promote books, engage in cheeky nonsense, and share my shop cats. But I come from a family of artists. My dearest auntie makes the most glorious cards. Perfect for the holidays. She's not on here so I can be extravagant in my praise

I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.

Yes, stole it.

I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.
