I saw the moon tonight and thought of you.
Merry Christmas Eve!
Art by Gaby Zermeño
Tonight, a crowd of carolers knocked on my front door; the kids and I gathered to listen to them sing by Christmas tree light, then we passed out gingerbread cookies we’d made earlier this week.
There’s still some goodness in the world.✨
It really is just TOTALLY INSANE how hard it is to make a truly excellent book. Nearly everyone underestimates what’s required. I think that’s why I LOVE hanging out with people who understand.
Winter Solstice is on December 21, 2025.❄️
I brought together 10 books to celebrate and learn more about this special day.
You can click on each book cover in the interactive choice board to find the book in @follettcontent.bsky.social Titlewave.

Also a good opportunity to show off my new Krampus socks! From @twistedspinebooks.bsky.social!
Happy Krampusnacht to all who celebrate!
The December full moon is called the Cold Moon, & it's no wonder how it got this name - everything about this chilly season is telling us to find warmth within, look for light wherever it may be found, & reflect on what we will take into the new year & what we'd like to leave to darker days.
New Through Lines post! Beyond the ordinary: crafting stories that stand out

Today's November full moon is a beacon in our final preparations for winter, our shift into the darker season ahead—now is the time to slow down & go inward, focusing on what groundedness & security look like during these coming cold months, & beyond. 🌕
