Hope you all are doing okay as we approach the last few days of this unusual year, and that your planning for 2021 and look-backs at 2020 are going well.
So little to say this week, and not much to link to. But I enjoyed these, and hope you do, too.
that caught my eye this week. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
This Christmas, read a story aloud – you’ll be surprised by the joy it brings—Thinking back on when I used to do this regularly with my kids, this is a decent idea for other times of the year, too.
I appreciated this thread from Ethan M. Aldridge on how libraries benefit authors
Who wore it better? US book covers vs. their UK counterparts.—a fun look at the differences in covers from Lit Hub
The Worst Literary Adaptations of the Century (So Far)—I’ve only seen half of this list, can’t argue with them.

I’ve seen some really good creative approaches to the Year’s Best theme this year, like:
Top Five Backlist Reads of 2020—from Realms of My Mind
Steven Writes posted both Top Five Memorable Endings I Read In 2020 and Top Five Most Dramatic Twists I Read In 2020—excellent ideas, both
TBR Tackle Challenge Announcement—yeah, I know last week I said something about cutting back on challenges. This one could be helpful, though. I’m considering it, you might benefit from it, too.

Trying to comment from the reader and not your page….

And that seems to work. How weird is that? I’m still getting the invalid token when I try to comment directly on your site. Oh well.

Back to the drawing board… Grr.

Really thought once I got a couple of comments after you two had said something that I’d flipped the right switch.

You did get a couple. But if you look, both of those people had dotcom sites and weren’t dotwordpressdotcom sites.
I’m currently writing this through the notification area, so we’ll see if it goes through.
