Links: Libraries, Baking, & More

It’s our last Links of 2023! Next week, we’ll be taking a break from content to run our Best Of lists, from posts to reviews to Cover Snark.
I want to take a moment to reflect on these posts. When I started doing them, it was just a way to show off some cool or interesting things from around the internet. And it still is! However, I love that it’s also morphed into a little hangout spot, a community within the larger SBTB community. To lurkers and commenters alike, thank you so much!
Wishing you all a restful holiday season! I know I’ll either be at my computer, players hours upon hours of  Final Fantasy XIV or trying (and possibly failing) to get some reading done.
