Happy New Year and New Decade!
Best wishes for healing and joy in the coming year and decade. My word of the year last year was "warmth," and I do think more warmth came into my life. I chose "kindness" for this year, which is a word I already think about a lot. Do you choose a word of the year? What do you want to bring in and focus on?

I am curious about Catfishing on the Catnet, so I was interested to read your review, which made me nod thoughtfully--although I can't bring an example to mind, I've had cases like what you describe, where a thing isn't treated with enough seriousness for me and is in an otherwise lighthearted book.

I don't choose words for the year, but it sounds like a lovely practice. You said your word last year was warmth. Did you do it he year before, and if so, what word did you pick then?

I couldn't quite find words for my reaction to Catfishing on CatNet. It was both serious enough to be un-fun to read, and then the happy ending felt unrealistic even within the premise of the story. But then I don't read horror. I think it would be perfectly fine for lots of people.

My word for 2018 was care. I recently made a summary post going back to 2010, and there's a word of the year tag (which I should add to this post!).

Thank you for that link! (I'm sorry I missed it at the time I posted.)

No worries! I was pleased to have a place to point to.
