Anyone who knows me knows that books are near and dear to my heart. So, if you’re giving me money, there’s a high probability I’m going to skip gleefully to the nearest bookshop.
My birthday and Christmas are really close together and this year I was given books as gifts and money which I went and spent on more books. All in all, I’ve been lucky to get 28 new books. That should keep me going for a while.

Two of the books on the above list haven’t arrived from Amazon yet. They should be here in the next day or two. I would have liked to post a photo of them all but I also want to get them shelved before the end of the year. When I was growing up it was a tradition that the whole house was tidied ahead of the New Year in order to start as you mean to go on. It’s something that has stuck with me as an adult so I want to get my library tidied up and everything neatly shelved.
