So I finished reading what I believe will be my final book of 2025 for review. 7 reviews to write up 😬 & then I need to pick my titles for Bookvent 2025 … 🫣

Some books pick themselves but what titles will fill the gaps? 🤔 As for book of the year 🤫

Both love & hate this time of year🤭😵‍💫😄

Copy one of two - the ‘normal’ version - of Ragnar Jónasson’s Snowblind 10th Anniversary Edition arrived yesterday. Very pretty but still have the indie edition (with spredges) to come which should be 😍.

My 1st ever Icelandic novel.
