The moment I realized these were Girl of the Limberlost macarons I started crying. I feel so loved and seen. Also I am blown away by how gorgeous these are! Thank you so much @charlottereads.com @sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social
my Christmas MVP is @sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social, who, with almost no notice, made the most gorgeous batch of macarons for @soundoftheforest.bsky.social. I chose A Girl of the Limberlost for the theme, because it’s the book that inspired Nicole to take up insect preservation. LOOK AT THEM. LOOK

I wonder if you could even explain to someone born in this century that, before 1980, you couldn't buy a phone, you had to rent it from the phone company, and the phones you could get from the phone company had ringers that could not be disabled. They'd happily rent you an *extra* ringer, though.
