1. Roseanna posted her yearly wrap up, which includes charts and a photo of an incredibly cute bag she made that tracked books she read via embroidery!

2. Liz Bourke talked about her Year of reading queer books with women!

3. Notable YA SFF and Horror from YA treasure hunter Alex Brown.

4. Amal el-Mohtar will be in conversation with Ann Leckie at Schlafly Public Library in STL in March 2025. Amal's book, The River Has Roots, comes out just before the event. Maybe I can read it on the drive up to STL.

5. Going through things I frantically bookmarked when I was too busy to read them, I found a link to Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite, which sounds excellent.

6. I had The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong on my anticipated books list for the end of 2024, so I was delighted to see that Jenny enjoyed it. A ringing endorsement!

7. I've been obsessed with this song and this artist.
