Kate Flora: I’m looking forward to given some very young people a copy of
The Library Lion
, since it is a charming book and libraries are my favorite places. I’ve snagged a copy of
The Best American Science and Nature Writing for my son. I’m hoping to get a copy of
The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook.
Kaitlyn Dunnett/Kathy Lynn Emerson: Since I haven’t done a bit of Christmas shopping this year, not that I’m all that fond of it anyway, assorted relatives are getting copies of my books, the ones published this year. That’s actually quite a haul, considering I had three mysteries traditionally published, two as Kaitlyn and one as Kathy, and self published (or reissued) eight more, six for children

In 2008, a small group of die-hard fans saved the last remaining Polaroid factory, located in the Netherlands, from shutting down.
Calling themselves the Impossible Project, the small cadre of instant photography fans became the “brand guardians” of the nine-decades-old Polaroid name. The team focused on producing film to begin with, and it wasn’t until 2017 that Polaroid began making cameras again.
“Most people don’t know the current iteration of Polaroid is different from the company they remember from the height of its fame 30 years ago,” says creative director Ignasi Tudela.
Since its relaunch, the Polaroid in-house design team has been growing and is now tasked with all elements of the much-loved brand, from physical products, to packaging, advertising and e-commerce. It is a “labour of love”, according to Polaroid chief design officer Ignacio Germade.
