It's my spot on the @rararesources #booktour for Secrets of a Winter Escape by @SueMoorcroft

It's got everything I loved from book one, and she's thrown in Christmas, with all the wintery weather, decorations, the warmth and cosiness of the season.

The problem with buying books for Christmas presents, is that I inevitably want to read them myself. Today's delivery....@TheAntonDuBeke memoir Steps in Time 🩷

I have been gradually baking my way through @janespatisserie website so I'm thrilled to have her latest cookbook. And it's a CHRISTMAS one‼️🎅🏻

❤️❤️❤️ This Mrs Claus is very happy right now.

As someone who has noise-induced seizures, fireworks night is not my favourite night of the year.

So I'm going to do what I do best and lost myself in some fantasy worlds courtesy of...

I originally bought this as a Christmas present for a relative. However when it came I thought it would suit someone else instead.

But now I've decided to keep it for myself 😁

🖤 Pocket Book of Dragons by Joel Levy

I have a list on my computer of all the books I want to buy. The latest count? 1,128.

This is despite having around 2,500 unread books already on my shelves.

At this point, I think I need to accept that immortality is the only realistic solution.

Ahhhhhh look at this surprise book delivery from @canongatebooks @ZhouLucy105 🩷🩷🩷
