I have these two little books on the go to see me through the rest of the year.

Does anyone else have the compulsion to have all current reading finished so they can start January 1st (fresh) with a new book? Or is it just me? 😆😆

Bookzombie I‘m working on that too. Feels good to start with a clean slate, but I don‘t know if it will happen. 🙂 2d
Ruthiella It‘s not just you! I aim for it but am not always successful. 😆 2d
LeahBergen @Bookzombie I hope it turns out for you! 🤞😆 2d

“But what shall I do on Christmas night if nobody has given me a book?…”

What, indeed?? That quote is from the title story of this little collection I just bought. Selma Lagerlöf was the (first female) winner of the Nobel Prize in 1909.
