Dear Santa


Dear Santa,

I know, I know. There are a good 200 books in my book cabinet, 100 books under the bed, and hundreds on my Kindle, all unread.

Still. It's Christmas, right?

And the only thing I want is books. 

Here are the books I want the most. None of these are available at my library, and none of them are on sale on Kindle. So you will have to go through a used book dealer or...some kind of magic? You can figure that out, I think.




Sunflower Splendor: Three Thousand Years of Chinese Poetry

Seeds from a Birch Tree: Writing Haiku and the Spiritual Journey by Clark Strand

Down the Common: A Year in the Life of a Medieval Woman by Ann Baer

The Daily Stoic Journal: 366 Days of Writing and Reflection on the Art of Living by Ryan Holiday

Peak Human: What We Can Learn from History's Greatest Civilizations by Johan Norberg

The Long Loneliness: The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist by Dorothy Day


I've been really good this year.

Take care and thank you, Santa.

Your friend, 

Deb Nance at Readerbuzz



Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Everyone!




Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
