Don't Tread on Peas: December {2025}

 

Dear friends. Here's how I spent December. It was quite lively. 

Favourites in 2025: Books, Outfits, TV

 And #TuesdayTwirl

Dear friends. One of the advantages of writing a review of each month is that it's easy to recall the highs and lows of the year. Seeing what we enjoyed and achieved is a good way of evaluating our lives.

My Book Challenges for 2026

 

Dear friends. I'm taking on four book challenges in 2026. This is a step up because I've only ever taken one reading goal, for Goodreads, in the past. 

In 2025 my Goodreads goal was 110 books, up by ten, and I managed to finally achieve it in the third week of December.  I'll stick to the same target, 110, for 2026. I don't have any additional reading time so it would be pointless to set a tougher goal.

December Delights: Books {2025}

 

Dear friends. Welcome to my round-up of books read in December. The two 5-star reads are both a little harrowing and have a theme in common - religion - but they are exceptional reads. If you'd prefer a lighter and more traditional read for this time of year, you will enjoy Christmas in Flanders Fields, although it doesn't shy away from the realities of war.
