I loved Sophie Cliff's post on setting goals about feeling rather than doing, and so this year I'm not going to strive for more followers, write out a list of places to visit, or aim to finally lose the baby weight (is it still considered baby weight after three years?!).

That's certainly the case for a lot of the titles I've read this year, particularly those from Abrams + Chronicle. For my final 12 Days of Christmas giveaway,… Continue reading 12 Days of Christmas #12: My Book of the Year

"A book is a gift you can open again and again" - Garrison Keillor If you ask me, there are few gifts better than books.
