My week in books (not only) #51 - The Sunday post - The Sunday salon

 

 

 

Hello, I'm linking back to The sunday post held by Kim, The Caffeinated Reviewer and The sunday salon held by Deb at Readerbuzz. Click on the links to access their posts and discover plenty of great bloggers who are dying to share their book reviews, and other things, with you ! 

 

First of all, I wish you a better year - let's be cautious until everything goes back to "normal" !

I haven't been very present on the net this week. At the time I was writing this, I haden't even answered comments yet. I spent time with my family, played games, watched shows (Supernatural, Hercule Poirot, Goblin), cooked, ate, drank, washed, cleaned. I'm still wondering if next week will be the same, the temperatures are now cold, the outside world is foggy and my sister even had snow (she lives just above Paris) so reading under the cover with a warm cat and a warm drink is perfect for the season ! Cleaning up everything keeps bodies warm too but is somehow less appealing...

On the blogging side, in 2021 I'll be publishing reviews, of course, but I'll have a monthly Booktubers shoutout, I intend to create a blogroll - as soon as Blogger cooperates, I've been thinking of posting about my oldest books (some are from the 19th century), about bookish/non bookish Bullet journals, and other things I'm not sure about yet, including beards in the Victorian era (blame Wilkie Collins for that idea). I think january will be an experimental month, I'm noting ideas down as they come to me. 

Anyway, enjoy your week and, as usual, stay safe.
