For your dose of levity this gray Tuesday, I present you with:
Warning: the brief bit that follows includes one instance of strong language, but, man, is it awesome.
And now, of course, I really want this shirt.
Let's just lay our cards on the table, shall we, and agree that, on the whole, 2016 was an abysmal year.
And I'd just like to personally invite it not to let the door hit it on the way out.
This is me being as charitable as I can possibly be at this point.
That said, I want to send a glorious shout out to the wonderful books that have come out this past year, and to all the authors (and readers) who have not given in to the anxiety, depression, anger, and fear that I know so many of us have felt throughout the past twelve months (or more). It is the last day of the year, and I have poured all of my gratitude (and hope for a better one to come) into my annual list of my favorite reads of the year. Just 17 this year. Fewer than the past few years, which indicates a healthy dose of necessary rereading in this year that has been what it was, as well as the fact that I just didn't get to as many new releases.
(in the order in which I read them)

Diana, *gasp* where did you get that shirt?
ReplyDeleteThis is made of awesomeness. :) Han rules!
ReplyDeleteMy husband found it. It was one of those "one day only" designs.
ReplyDeleteKaty, he really does.
ReplyDeleteDiana, sweet. I love those finds.

ReplyDeleteAh so you're a Star Wars fan? Did you see my story yesterday? It won the Romance category in the Genre Wars Anthology

You'll have to scroll down to yesterday's post.
But the real reason, I came over here- OMG! Dauhter of the Forest-OMG. Marillier is amazing. I'm not totally done. My eyeballs were falling out, and I had to get up extra early to take my daughter to math tutoring, but I don't give a blankety blank about housework or groceries, I'm going to go read. And I'm going to DM you.
I am most definitely a Star Wars fan. And, no, I didn't see your story! Heading over to check it out now...
ReplyDeleteI am utterly thrilled with your response to DotF! Is it not simply wonderful in every way?
