It is the last day of the year. Of this year specifically. "Well done," is all have to say if you're reading this. Well done, you. It's been quiet for awhile now around these parts. For obvious reasons. But I've been reading continuously and ever so gratefully. I have felt such a profound sense of gratitude this year for all of the creators in this world who have been tirelessly and so lovingly creating art for all of us. We have needed it so much. I have needed it so much. And this year of all years, the creation of art has felt like such a fierce act of love. So thank you. And so here I leave my best books of the year. My list stands at fourteen titles. And that feels just right. photo by @aamith (in the order in which I read them) A Heart So Fierce and Broken by Brigid Kemmerer If I Never Met You by Mhairi McFarlane Slippery Creatures by K.J.

ReplyDeleteOh, shucks. She's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again: So. CUTE.
ReplyDeleteThanks, you guys. We think she's pretty all right.
ReplyDeleteOh, she's just beautiful Angie! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kimberly. I am so glad she's here and SO glad to not be pregnant anymore. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh she is so pretty. Congratulations, Angie.
ReplyDeleteYay! I figured it was around the time for her to show up. She's gorgeous! Hope you both are recovering well and getting at least a little sleep.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ana!
ReplyDeleteKristi, we are recovering really well. Not so much with the sleep yet, though...How are you feeling these days?
Aw, she's adorable. Cute name, too. Take care!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brie. We liked the name right from the start. A lot of people have commented on it and I guess I didn't realize it was that uncommon.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Angie! She's absolutely beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christine!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! She's just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann. She's two weeks now and I'm not sure where those two weeks went. I imagine the next few years will feel the same. :)
ReplyDeleteAngie! I love your blog! I haven't seen it yet. =) I'm interested to see what you thought of Breaking Dawn. Hope everything's going well on the home front with your little one!
ReplyDeleteCamie, I didn't know you had a blog either. It's delightful! Mind if I link to it? As for Breaking Dawn, I've been dragging my feet on my review. Mostly because I agree with yours...
ReplyDeleteWow. This is belated - but congratulations! She's adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janicu. And congratulations yourself! Hope you're enjoying married life.
