It is impossible to narrow down my favorite books to a tidy list. Here are some I loved - some written for adults, others written for young readers. (If you only read "adult" books, you are really missing out.) These books helped carry me through a difficult year. Here's to an easier one to come.

I can’t wait for the day we start ripping out all that golden shit out of the White House and tearing his name off of every taxpayer funded building in the country.

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.
Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

A community that bans Wishtree is a community that desperately needs it.
@kaaauthor.bsky.social's book is about a community, nudged by a wise old oak tree, coming together to welcome strangers into their midst. If you haven't read it, you should - it is a masterpiece of storytelling.

Disheartening news from Wisconsin, where #wishtree was removed from a voluntary reading program after parent complaints.
If you don’t want your child to read my book, that’s absolutely your right. But you cannot tell other parents what their children get to read. www.cbs58.com/news/book-ta...

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.
