Happy turn-of-the-year, my bookish friends!
The last few years have been so…strange…challenging…difficult…add your own adjective here. But despite all of our woes, books continue to provide diversion, solace, amusement and inspiration, and the conversations continue.
I must admit that I have not been an active participant for some time in these conversations, though I’ve dipped in to read what others have to say and have enjoyed my lurker status. However, realizing how much I miss recording my impressions as a reader, I think it’s time to be a bit more active again.
No promises! Life is supremely full of “stuff” at present, with no likelihood of its settling down anytime soon, but let’s see what happens.
I will start with this warm wish to all of you for good things to come in 2022. No matter what this new year brings us, may we all find comfort and companionship in and through books.

And my best wishes to you, and all others who enjoy this space. May 2022 let us vanquish, or at least, subdue the pandemic virus, and be free to live more normally again!
Happy 2022 to you too – I hope it’s a happy and bookish one!
Happy New Year to you as well! It’s lovely to see a post from you. I look forward to hearing about what you are reading these days.
Belated New Year’s wishes! Here’s looking forward to reading your reviews.
(No pressure, but I have missed them.)
Happy New Year!
It’s so lovely to hear from you! Happy New Year and I hope we do get to hear soon about what you’ve been reading.
Great to see you here. Happy New Year. We will all muddle through as best we can.
