News and podcast about books, reading and everything in between!
I don’t know about you, but there is this nagging feeling of OH-MY-GOODNESS-WHERE-THE-HELL-DID-THE-YEAR-GO where I’m concerned. The year has flown past, and we’re staring at yet another new year come too quickly, and a gloomy one at that.
But a new year ahead brings new vistas and new opportunities, not to mention prospects of many more wonderful books to savour.
Bookbabble wishes all a very happy New Year!

He was 78.
