How exciting! We can’t wait to read your entries to #DeanStreetDecember! 🙏🥰✨
Just 5 days before #DeanStreetDecember, and this year, I'm doing less AND more 10/10
LESS reading from @deanstpress.bsky.social (or, for the pedants, fewer books) but MORE authors, also ten. BIG thanks to @lyzzybee.bsky.social for hosting AGAIN: We who are about to die-ve into reading salute you

Many late-19th-century paintings depict people reading, a motif that symbolizes intelligence and personal introspection. For artists such as Georg Pauli, the absorbed reader offered a relatable way to express the era’s growing appreciation for private reflection.
