Happy New Year's Eve! I'll be around tomorrow so I'll probably post as usual, though it might be a bit later, if I manage to sleep in on my day off.
Carly Rae Jepsen is taking over as Cinderella in the Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway show and . . . I don't know, maybe she'll surprise us and be great, but I'm very glad I saw it with the wonderful Laura Osnes instead.

Morning Coffee (12/30/13)
Hi there! I hope everyone who celebrated had a great holiday. I just got back home late last night, so I'm still discombobulated. And most of these links were things I found before Christmas and never posted, so apologies if any now seem old. More normal tomorrow, I hope.

It's Friday. Let's have a book meme.
This book meme - which basically boils down to "name ten books that have stayed with you for years" - has been going around Facebook, but my friend Nicole posted it on her blog and tagged all her friends, and we've decided we're bringing memes back, because we miss them. SO. Here are my ten, in roughly chronological (of my life, not publication) order.
1) The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder - I loved books from when I was tiny, but this was the series that really turned me into a voracious reader when I broke my leg at age six and was stuck in bed for a while. And this is my favorite of the series.
2) Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery - I started reading LMM when I was about eight and haven't stopped. And this was my first ever online fandom, when I joined an LMM listserv in 1996. (I made friends there that I have to this day.)
3) An Acceptable Time by Madeleine L'Engle - The first novel I specifically remember making me think about abstract ideas, in addition to the direct plot/characters/etc. Later wrote my college thesis on this and some of her other books.
4) The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley - Just mind-blowing to a relatively sheltered Catholic kid, and sparked a lot of my interest in Celtic mythology and Arthurian lore. (Weirdly enough for a book considered to be a feminist retelling, I read this because all my male friends were reading it, and they were shocked and horrified by me reading something with sex in it.)
5) Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - I'm pretty sure I read this when the 1995 TV version came out, and it was one of the first adult "classics" I read for fun (rather than school) and wholeheartedly loved.
6) Mystique by Amanda Quick - The first romance novel I read, plucked from my mom's bag of library books one snow day in high school.
7) The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir - One of the first adult history books I read. My friend Christine and I recently realized, after complaining about several of Weir's books in a row but still buying them all, that Weir just got us young enough that we're convinced we love all her stuff even though we have grave concerns about her methods and style.
8) True Believers by Jane Haddam - My senior year of college, I read this (then new) mystery and then went back and ILLed all the previous books in the series, and they kept me sane while I was writing my thesis and preparing to leave school.
9) Cooking for Mr. Latte by Amanda Hesser - I found this when I was working at a bookstore after college, and it got me more interested in cooking and food writing, and provided a sort of touchstone for how to Be An Adult when I was newly out on my own.
10) So Many Books, So Little Time by Sara Nelson - I found this around the same time, and it similarly provided a context for how a bookworm could be a mostly functional adult. It's also one of the best celebrations of reading I've ever read, and now I reread it whenever I'm in a reading slump.
I don't want to be annoying and tag anyone who doesn't want to do it, but if you WANT to, consider yourself tagged, and leave a link to your answer in the comments so I can read it! (Or if you don't have a blog but just feel like sharing in the comments, feel free.)

Morning Coffee (12/20/13)
Happy Friday! Next week I'll be traveling and celebrating with my family, so I'm going to take the week off from regular Morning Coffee posts, though I will pop in if I have a moment or something I feel the need to share.
If you missed it yesterday, I'm having a little contest in which you can guess how many Christmas cookies I'll wind up making this year.
Alert: J.K. ROWLING IS COLLABORATING ON A HARRY POTTER STAGE PLAY.
And speaking of Harry Potter, check out these images from a new illustrated edition.

I almost said "I'd get a dog if it did my laundry," but no, a dog is way more work than laundry. STILL. Neat.
Here's the first teaser for the new Salem drama. HI THERE, Seth Gabel's voice.

Christmas cookie guessing game!
So, late last night, on Twitter, I sort of accidentally started a contest. I've been tweeting running tallies of my Christmas cookie baking, and last night I said "Huh, no idea what the final total will be. Guesses?" And then I decided I should give a prize to whoever guessed closest. And then I decided I should put this post here so those who weren't on Twitter at midnight on a Wednesday night could have a chance too. SO.
To enter, just guess how many Christmas cookies I will bake this year, and put your guess in the comments or tweet me. Tonight I'm planning to make more dough but not actually bake anything, so you have until I give a tally update Friday night to enter. Some hints:
Anyway, this was just a fun spontaneous little thing that I have now codified because I just can't help myself. SO. Guess away! Have fun! (And if you guessed on Twitter last night but want to change your guess based on the information provided here, be my guest.)

- I have made 192 cookies so far.
- I will make 8 kinds of cookies. I'll make two batches of some of these.
- The first six dozen were for a cookie exchange.
- With the rest, I'm doing cookie trays for three events, plus some family favorites to just have around the house Christmas week, plus maybe a few small cookie boxes for friends.
- I will be done by Sunday night.
Anyway, this was just a fun spontaneous little thing that I have now codified because I just can't help myself. SO. Guess away! Have fun! (And if you guessed on Twitter last night but want to change your guess based on the information provided here, be my guest.)
Morning Coffee (12/19/13)
Two more days of work! I am very ready for vacation.
Christmas in Washington is on tomorrow, and the most delightfully random assortment of people are involved. Hugh Jackman! The Backstreet Boys! The Obamas! Sheryl Crow! Anna Kendrick!
If Pippa Middleton is really engaged, this should be fun to watch.
The best and worst media errors and corrections in 2013
Someone else is writing a Dragon Tattoo sequel. My first reaction, of course, is to disapprove, but it's not like Larsson was known for his beautiful prose, so . . . we'll see.

This analysis of Twitter popularity is pretty fascinating.
I actually like Love, Actually, or at least parts of it, but this takedown is hilarious.

Read the "Stomach-Churning" Sexual Assault Accusations Against R. Kelly in Full
How about we don't use people's creative efforts to humiliate them?
Remember Michaele Salahi? She hopes so! (She and her Journey guitarist claim they're "not interested in any drama." I hate to break it to them, but that ship has sailed.)
I don't actually care much about Beyonce, but this thermal map of Twitter when her album hit is fascinating.
Danny Strong is writing the new Guys and Dolls movie. I remain guardedly optimistic.
This is, of course, wonderful: J.K. Rowling on charm bracelets for the Lumos auction.
Well, this is adorable: The Queen and the Duchess of Cornwall visited Barnardo's (a children's charity) and helped decorate their Christmas tree.

Happy Monday! Christmas is somehow suddenly NEXT WEEK. How did that happen?
Peter O'Toole and Joan Fontaine have died. Time for viewings of The Lion in Winter and Rebecca, I think. At least one of them is seasonal.
Colin Donnell - a.k.a Tommy from Arrow - and Patti Murin recorded a thoroughly delightful cover of "All I Want for Christmas."
In case anyone other than me and my brother still cares, here's some information on season four of The Killing.
A Ten-Month-Old's Letter to Santa
Oops: Pupils' Christmas 'ruined' by vicar's Santa Claus origins story
