I hope you’re all enjoying your holidays and eating loads of lovely food. My Christmas present books have been of a more practical nature this year. Yes, I’m counting dinosaur origami as practical. We’ll be testing out the tapas book next week and I’ll be preparing for the apocalypse with The Knowledge. On the non-books front I got a herb chopper, cute taco trucks (taco stands), cactus oven gloves, an “impossible” minions jigsaw puzzle, Chambord, Mr Happy mug and some mad Spongebob socks. I also have a bunch of Etsy vouchers to spend.
In amongst our joint presents there was also The Drunken Botanist by Amy Stewart which I forgot to include in the photo. Combines two of my interests, books and booze!
Not that impressed with online sales offerings this year, but I did grab three ebooks yesterday in a small nod to consumerism.

Dinogami sounds like an all-round win, tbh – and you can rarely go wrong with Stephen King! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas fellow Ellie! xx
