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.
Well, at least this is a fiction book, so I‘m not as frustrated by basic historical facts being wrong. Still not loving the re-writing of Irish history in this sentence, but I think I can continue.
My sister surprised me recently with this super-cute Hufflepuff badger!
I love interesting end papers and maps! Two for one here:)
#bookhaul … for the second day in a row. In my defence, I have more time to shop and stock up over the Summer. Winter is long, and needs lots of books.
