This is your December reminder that it's absolutely acceptable to try and get to a set annual book goal by cramming in as many novellas and cookbooks as you can find before Christmas swallows you up! #booksky 💙📚

So many great dark and emotional reads for a dark and emotional month. I’m ready to dive into some feel good Christmas reads in December. Who’s with me on that?

Spoonbenders by Daryl Gregory is a mildly farcical look at a fictional family with ESP talents. #Fantasy #LiteraryFiction #Audiobook #BookSky 💙📚

The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith was on my TBR for like 20 years and finally made its way to the top due to a reading challenge. Surprisingly delightful with a lovely FMC. #Mystery #Fiction #BookSky 💙📚

The first holiday after losing my mom last month is especially hard. I am thankful for all the memories of us cooking and baking together over the years. 💔

Ordinary Soil by Alex Woodard defies genre. It’s both scientific and spiritual in it’s contemplation of the food meant to nourish ourselves. #Fiction #BookSky 💙📚

From the Belly by Emmett Nahil is a claustrophobic tale set aboard a whaling ship. This isn’t quite the Moby Dick you were expecting. #Horror #BookSky 💙📚 #SSBA2025

Slewfoot by Brom. Some of the most imaginative and captivating literary illustrations out there. It definitely had a witchy New England vibe. #Horror #Folklore #BookSky 💙📚

Sickening by John Abramson is an interesting medical expose but needs to be read with critical thinking and appreciation of nuance. #NonFiction #MedSky #Audiobook #BookSky 💙📚

Last Rites by Ozzy Osbourne is full of everything I’ve come to expect from Ozzy… wild stories, humor, and love for his family, fans, and a lifetime of music. Last Rites are his last words in a life thoroughly lived. #Memoir #Music #Audiobook #BookSky 💙📚

Read to your kids 📖

No kids? Read to your friends’ kids.

No friends with kids? Make a friend—preferably one who comes with kids to expedite the operation—and start reading!

It is imperative that children are read to ☝️

Things you never want to hear public health officials say:

“It feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane”

“We can’t fulfill our mission here”

RFK Jr has ruined the CDC, and those who are left realize that protecting the public is all but impossible.
New from me: I talked to CDC staffers about the new vaccines and autism page. They said things like:

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.”

“I think people are starting to see that we can’t fulfill our mission here.”
“Embarrassing” and “horrifying”: CDC workers describe the new vaccines and autism page
"The best way I can put it is it feels like we're on a hijacked airplane."

The new CDC webpage on autism makes a number of false claims. We correct the record here.

tldr: vaccines don't cause it. www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/w...
What are the facts on autism?
CDC changes raised new autism-vaccine fears, but science is clear: vaccines don’t cause autism. Learn how real research works and what the evidence shows.

Sundown in San Ojuela by M.M. Olivas is a creepy tale of Aztec folklore merged with modern day family secrets. Unique and unsettling. #Horror #BookSky 💙📚 #SSBA2025
