Indeed I am!
Indeed I am!
One of my bookish goals this year was to go through my books and eliminate those books I didn‘t care for or those that I am never going to read… this bag is the first of that endeavor!
Immensely detailed and comprehensive. If you‘re interested in the topic then you will enjoy this book. It can be quite dry and suffers from a disinterest in pacing. It‘s clear that the authors did an enormous amount of research and want to share it all
This book is such a hidden gem!
It showcases 50 different “hidden” libraries from all around the world (plus outer space). Every library profile tells you how to find it (if applicable, some are no longer around and some are not open to the public). Also, all the photos have captions which I appreciated.

My first bookshelf is ready! I'll be stitching colors of the covers from each book I finish in 2025.
This is Arrow. I met her today at the Auburn Public Library. They‘ve partnered with a local shelter to help cats get adopted. Wish I could adopt Arrow, she‘s very sweet and friendly.

#top24of24
Here are my favourites of this year - probably quite similar to a lot of other Littens‘ lists! 🤪 There‘s a fair few from prize lists and, of course, many recommended (or even gifted) by Litsy friends.
I think the top 17/18 were easy but there were a few vying for those last few spots. Those that just missed out included Lula Dean, The Wedding People, Wolf at the Table, The Collected Regrets of Clover and Notes on an Execution.
This is my #top24of24! I was a bit stingier with the 5⭐️ this year, and only 8 received that (upper left quadrant plus Dead Bastards and Cue the Sun in bottom right). The rest are 4.75⭐️ and 4.5⭐️. Nine of these are nonfiction, which is about normal and pretty close to my reading NF/F split. Can‘t wait to see even more of these as the year winds up! 👏🏻📚
Just two weeks until the end of the year, it‘s time for our tradition to share our #Top24of24.
This is mine so far. And yes, if you look good it are actually 25 books 😉.
I‘ll tag a few people to get things started, please share your favorites and tag a few more 💝
My current reads.
I‘m not sure why the tagged book has such a low rating on here as I‘m really enjoying it. I haven‘t allowed myself to read the reviews yet though so we shall see as I get closer to the end, I guess! 😬
