Happy almost New Year, Zoe!

Hey, Zoë, I want to see you and @radicarian again this year! It's always so much fun to meet up with you two. Have a happy New Year. Stay healthy, and I'll plan to see you sometime soon. Oh, and happy reading! :D

Have a great weekend.

Well, not a lot of reading got done this year, so I'll just post some photos instead and then move on to the new year!
I did go on a few international trips:
Dominican Republic in January:
Spain in May:
South Korea in June:
And in September, baby Brendan was born!
There was approximately zero reading after that!

>27 _Zoe_: I am so excited about your son and simply can't wait to meet him in March!!! I have a special book for him that I bought for my grandson and then later gave to his sister, but now that neither are preschoolers any more, I can't think of anyone who I would more like to pass this book down to than Brendan. You'll just have to wait to see what the book is when you get here! :D
30qebo
>27 _Zoe_: Congratulations!!! On the lookout for your 2024 thread and more photos of Brendan. (Wouldn't mind more of South Korea too.)

Congrats, Zoe :-)
I've found cataloging and reviewing baby books to be really rewarding - a lot of them don't have any kind of critical reviews here at all! - so maybe you will too.

Thank you all!
>29 SqueakyChu: Ooh, I'm excited to see what the book is! Thank you :)
>30 qebo: I'm hoping to get the thread started in the first half of January!
>31 norabelle414: I can definitely see the appeal! I've already been feeling an urge to review random baby products, but time continues to be limited, so we'll see where the balance falls. It would be easier if I wanted to write reviews on my phone, since I'm often trapped for long periods of time sitting with the baby, but typing on a phone is just so much slower.

>33 _Zoe_: I usually write notes on my phone in a google doc and then make them coherent/formatted and post them here when I'm at a computer.
35_Zoe_
>34 norabelle414: I may have to start doing that! I spend way too much time on my phone these days, so I should really try to make it more worthwhile.
