This was a wild book year! I read about half as many as I usually do but I finally took the plunge into self publishing - under a secret pen name that I'm still keeping secret - while knowing next to nothing about the process. Here's to more of both in 2026!

This year on Bluesky I wrote 881 posts and 756 replies. I received 7,000 likes, whereas 1,265 was from my most popular post, and apparently I love saying "squareword" and 🟩!

I posted my Wordle results but somehow removed the word "Wordle" so it bypassed their mute lists and they had to see it.

What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

It would be very cool if, this time next year, I saw one of my books on someone's end of the year reading recap. Doesn't even have to be a "best of" or favorites list, just to have it included would be amazing.

How do my glasses get so freaking dirty so quickly. I've worn glasses my entire life and I've never understood it.

I haven't unpacked my #tiedye supplies since we moved last year and am desperately in need of new shirts since my old ones are literally falling apart. So, I contacted an artist I really admire and she agreed to dye some of my shirts for me. This is one she just finished up & I'm so excited!

I've said this before but we have the best sunsets in the winter here. This was a few years back in Pacifica, CA. Stopped on the way back home at Rockaway to catch this one.
