Another reading by the Christmas tree post:) Hot chocolate, cozy mystery, and my belly full of soup💜

😂 #sorrynotsorry if I spam you guys with pages from this middle grade graphic novel take on Beowulf.

Also, I apparently read this a few years ago, and only realised this due to looking it up on litsy to mark it as currently reading when I started it.

Don‘t have my tree up yet, but I do have Christmas music, peppermint tea in a Christmas mug, and a novel that starts with a snow storm.

My awesome co-worker randomly got me a shirt!

Apparently, the Jimbocho book district in Tokyo where this book is set is a real place, so new travel goal unlocked:)

And yet life remained interesting.

Terrible photography, but trust me it is truly a #prettycover. Also, pretty sprayed edges, spine, end papers…

I love it when one book ties in with another one that I‘ve read recently! I just finished Value(s) by Mark Carney which also talked about the financial crisis of 2008 and, more specifically, ethical implications in the financial system.

“Disturbingly precise” is exactly the right phrase for that context.

I should start using the phrase “surfeit of individual irrationality” in my daily life😂

One caveat about this quote; I don‘t love the phrase “the best country in the world.” I love my country, it‘s my favourite, it‘s the best one for me, but I don‘t think that makes it just plain “the best.”


This was a nice little palate cleanser when I was being indecisive about what to read next.
