Yes, I know it is 21st January, but between summarizing 2018 and planning for 2019 and moving house I just didn’t get round to this post in time. But then, why should it mean skipping it 😉

December was not bad reading-wise, I’m sure the holiday season helped with that. I managed to read seven books, finishing the year at 77 books, not bad at all. It was also a lovely month in general, as things started slowing down in the second half of the month. During Christmas week, I finally managed to rest and recover from the craziness of last quarter. I was at my family home and enjoyed proper white Christmas with snow, beautiful Christmas tree (I decorated it myself, so of course it was beautiful) and plenty of candle-light and evenings in front of the fireplace. It was bliss.
