Christmas is a good time to consider books (they make great gifts, just sayin’) and other beautiful things.

• Serendipitous photos. LOL.
• How to read poems out loud.
• Marvelously detailed prize-winning quilts.
• Mary Cassatt is one of my favorite artists.
• Do we really need all this stuff? No.
• I love these creative hairdos for Crazy Hair Day!
• New York Public Library’s cozy Christmas reads, though some of these descriptions don’t sound very cozy at all…
• Which authors get paid the big bucks? No surprises on this list.
• Christmas and winter picture books for the little ones on your list.
• And books for precocious children.
• Think you don’t have what it takes to do what you want to do? Pretend you’re someone else then.
• You may have noticed I’m a bookaholic. That’s why I love art connected with my passion.
