I now possess the original paper printings of all four Velveteen books by @seananmcguire.bsky.social (Seanan was kind enough to sign book two to my spouse, so if we divorce, they get the book.) Squee! I can't wait to read book four!

Spines of hardcover books, all by Seanan McGuire. From left to right, they are Middlegame, Velveteen vs. the Junior Super Patriots, Velveteen vs. the Multiverse, Velveteen vs. the Consequences of Her Actions, and Sleep No More.

This picture does not do it justice; tonight was an amazing sunset and moonrise. The pink clouds and blue sky have merged into lavender twilight.

Lush green evergreens against a blue-lavender sky. A bright white full moon shines brightly from between two evergreens.

Dang it, the mosquitos are out; I got to get inside.

A small look at my 2025 reads.

And for the eighth night, a completely new set of candles! Chag sameach, all!

A menorah. All the candleholders are filled with candles that shade from light to dark purple. They blaze away merrily.

And for tonight, stripey lights against the darkness! And Thy Word/Broke their sword/When our own strength/Failed us.

A double header tonight! Last night, we lit our hannukiyah at our synagogue with the congregation. It was ablaze with light!

Seven menorahs of different shapes and sizes on a foil-covered table. All of them (except one in the back) are lit for the sixth night.

We finished off the original box of candles last night and are on to box 2. Let there be light.

A menorah with six candles (five plus the shammash) lit, in a dark room.

Patterns of light and color

A menorah with five lit candles. Candles 1, 3, and 5 are blue; candles 2 and 4 are orange.

A rainbow of light.

A menorah with four lit candles. From right to left, the candles are red, orange, and yellow, and shammash, in the middle of the menorah, is blue.

The light against the darkness has doubled.

A menorah, lit for the second night of Hannukkah. A green plastic watering can and a plant (in a pot, which has a beaded spider dangling from it) are in the background.

In this time of darkness, light is important.

An old menorah with a lion in the middle. The shammash and first candle are lit; both are bright red. The menorah is on a corner countertop between two windows. A paper bag, onion, pepper mill and other kitchen accoutrements are visible but incidental.

Happy Chanukkah to one and all!

A menorah with the shamash and first candle lit.

If anyone knows this artist, could they let me know? I got the print at Seattle Comic-Con or Pax West in 2016, and I'd love more of their work.

Full color picture of Emma Frost, Kitty Prude, Ororo Munroe, Rogue, Jubilation Lee, and Psylocke, all in civilian clothes, against a brick wall. There are clever posters behind them as if various X-Men titles were bands.

Signature of the artist (illegible). 2016 with a heart after it. In yellow pen is "ST", followed by a heart.

Cover of Marian Call's album "Something Fierce".

An old-fashioned typewriter sits on a wooden desk in a wood-paneled room, under a shelf filled with big hardcover books. A red-headed white woman is peeking out from behind the right side of the typewriter.

I made the Cook's Illustrated Maple-Glazed Acorn Squash tonight, and it was super tasty. Charred, but not burnt, and enough cayenne in the glaze to cut the sweet. I'll probably slice it thinner next time.

I'm finishing up the iced tea I made from this, and it's a lovely, refreshing tea. It's got some fruity accents from the blueberries and pineapple. Very refreshing, even in the winter! This is from the fantastic Friday Afternoon Tea. (www.fridaytea.com)
