    Due to an unexpected bereavement I very much doubt I'll be keeping track as my brain is frazzled tbh

    Good luck to you all and I'll try to keep track but no promises

  • NSD for Sunday and Monday, making 5 so far.

    Planning a day out tomorrow to collect some books. This will involve visiting some book dealers, so it'a going to take a lot of willpower to only buy the ones I have reserved for my customers and not add to my growing book stash at home.
