Who do I talk to about making December hibernation month? I just wanna read in front of the fire and eat Christmas candy all month 😪 #booksky

It’s December, who else is ready to binge read 4+ books this month to meet their yearly reading goal 🙋🏼‍♀️ #booksky

Thankful for authors who don’t use AI to write their prose or design their covers this season. In all seriousness, y’all are keeping the art of writing and design alive. Thank you 😌📖 #booksky
