Merry merry

As of this moment, my 2014 Cybils work is done. Well, except for hauling a metric ton of books back to the library. Whew!

Since October 15th, I have read 79 young adult novels. Seventy. Nine. So now you know why this blog has been so quiet. But ahhhh, here I am, ready to settle back in and, you know, put the B in CYBILs. (Children’s and Young Adult Blogger Literary Awards.) Consider yourselves warned. 🙂

For now, though, today, the day after Christmas, I’ll content myself with a few thousand words’ worth of pictures.

Christmas morning

20 Ways to Draw a Tree: the bird page

watching TV with his new best friends

Christmas night: gaming like the olden days

Hope your holidays are happy and restful, friends. And filled with good books!
