Dear Emily, concerning book buying: last year I bought a lot of books on Vinted, I admit I regret some of those expenses now. They were impulse buying mostly and this year I want to focus on the unread books I have on my shelves. If I want to read something new I will pick it up at my local library. In the past I used to read more from the library and if I really loved a book then I will purchase it. Today unfortunately buying books seems just another trend ( like fast fashion in some ways). I want to be more mindful this year, read at my own pace and avoid book hauls video as much as I can.

I would browse new releases on publishers websites but I don't want to be caught again in the trap of pretty covers, books on trend right now ect.

Wish me luck! Take care 🌈

What a fabulous collection of books you read last year Emily. I loved The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan and set in the heart of Edinburgh too. Perfect!

Winter Solstice is gorgeous. I will probably try and read this again next Winter. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm looking forward to hearing about your reads throughout this year. I too am endeavouring to read more in 2025.
