The Joys of New Books and Revisiting Old Favourites

I hope you received (and gave) plenty of book related presents over Christmas.

I was delighted to receive a flash fiction related book and am enjoying reading that at the moment.

There is something so special about receiving new books. But I also love the joys of revisiting old favourites. Books are for life!

I took in a lot of my favourite Christmas stories via films - Hogfather, A Christmas Carol (the definitive version by The Muppets, of course!), and The Polar Express. I never get tired of these.

A major joy of a new books is in discovering an unknown world (regardless of what genre it is) and getting to know characters new to you.

The joy of old favourites is knowing these already but enjoying these things all over again. I never tire of that either!

I hope the New Year brings you plenty of opportunities to enjoy your old favourite books and to discover many new to you.

Happy reading for 2025!
