Life has been hectic for me lately, so I haven’t been paying the blog enough attention, but I’ve had a few bookish arrivals in the post that I thought I might share.
The Book Bloggers Holiday Card Exchange is a very lovely idea run by Courtney and Judith. When I got post from France I was initially confused who it could be from, but when I saw this lovely card inside it twigged:
My exchange partner was Beth and I love my French card and the very friendly bookish message written inside it, so thank you Beth.
I also received this very exciting book from And Other Stories:
And Other Stories is a small publisher that works on a subscription model. They publish six new books per year, often translations into English. Subscribers get their names printed in a numbered first edition of each book they subscribe to. I was very excited to read my name in this book! And as a bonus they included a few copies of this poem, which I have stuck to our fridge:
Have you had any good post lately?

Nice card from Beth. Isn’t it fun getting post from abroad?
A new Deborah Levy? I enjoyed Swimming Home – hope this one’s good too!
Oh what a beautiful card! And how cool to see your name printed in that book.
Glad to hear you received your card and that you liked it! Happy holidays!
Judith Post is almost always fun! Thank you again for organising the exchange. Such a good idea. Black Vodka is officially being published in February but subscribers got it early as a Christmas bonus!
Jinjer Yes, it’s pretty cool.
Beth Hello! Hope my card to you turns up before Christmas too! Happy holidays, x
I hope to work on posts for the future over my break. Here’s hoping inspiration hits!
