Many people are probably tired today after all the Christmas shopping, preparations and dinners. Honestly, though, I have no idea how it feels because I\u2019m from that part of the planet\u2019s population that doesn\u2019t celebrate Christmas. I do wish a Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate!<\/p>\n

I decided that I\u2019ll just show you some of my favourite book pictures that I took for the blog. Looking at pictures is always easier than reading a text, especially on days when you just want to relax. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

4. Spinning Silver<\/em> by Naomi Novik<\/h2>\n

There’s no review because I haven’t read the book yet. (And taking into account my unfortunate experiment with reading fantasy<\/a>, I’m not sure how soon I will read this one). There’s still this nice wintery photo \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
