So I got a book through SantaThing (LibraryThing's gift exchange) called "A Nameless Witch" by A Lee Martinez.
Never read his stuff before.

I hate star ratings on books—on LibraryThing and everywhere. Why? I just made a list of 11 "Analytical History" books for my SantaThing. Hundreds of ratings, but when you average it all out, 10 have between 3.9 and 4.1. The 11th has a 3.5. Helpful? www.librarything.com/list/46035/T...

SantaThing extended by one day. Your family won't get you books this year. They're useless. So this is your last chance!
What’s better than getting books at the holidays? Helping others to get some as well! SantaThing is a labor of love—a way to share our passion for books and our appreciation for our fellow LibraryThing members.

SantaThing is one of my favorite LibraryThing traditions. We don't make any money on it—indeed we always lose money—but members love it, and between all the donations for down-on-their-luck members and help people get in picking books, it's a wonderful community booster.
SantaThing is our "Secret Santa" for bibliophiles, and sign-ups are in full swing! Come and join, and spread the bookish holiday cheer this season! You have until Monday, November 25 at 12pm EST to join. 💙📚 www.librarything.com/santathing.php

I want to stop reading, but the book hasn't addressed the right to *not* believe and I'm kind of curious what he'll get wrong. And it was a SantaThing gift and I feel bad about not finishing it. I'm very clearly not the right audience (not Protestant Christian, already thinking about religion)

impulsively added Reforging the White Republic to my kindle because the subtitle and Aleksei's rec made me go "oh yes??"
check out the table of contents! I'm gonna read it after the SantaThing book about religious freedom, I think. (which is next on my list)

omgggg I just received the email from @librarything.com with links to my SantaThing ebook gifts and what a great selection of topics for me!
Someone here posted yesterday about spiritualism/religious movements and feminism and made me want to read more on the topic, so that one is particularly apt.

right now my plan is to actually finish What Katy Did Next so i can start my SantaThing book, instead of stopping every page to comment on something new. (I can't believe I've been reading it for a week already and I'm not even halfway???)
thoughts and prayers that i can manage it before February 😶🌫️

multiple people participating in SantaThing specified "no LGBTQ+" in their preferences and that's almost as depressing as the people in my mentions arguing that a beloved popcorn costume drama is feminist trash. (I love it because of the clumsy feminism)

They're still a lot of people without any book suggestions or picks for SantaThing. Perhaps you have some recommendations for them?

Hey book nerds, go help recommend books for secret santa on LibraryThing. (you'll need an account, but it's easy)
The more suggestions, the better! for ex, I already found a Santee who would probably love @finnlongman.bsky.social's trilogy, but their Santa might not have known of it!
