December felt like living inside a snow globe — full of sparkle, chaos, and heartwarming moments. From festive feasts to Elf on the Shelf mayhem, and a couple of solid audiobook listens, I wrapped up 2025 with a tired smile and a heart full of gratitude.

📚 Book Haul: Christmas Money, Birthday Treats & A Very Intentional Detour
Christmas and birthday money in my purse + an impromptu shopping trip with my mum = a very intentional book haul. From hard-to-find favourites and series-completing wins to a book I’ve been eyeing for weeks, this haul was pure reader joy (with a few non-book treats thrown in for balance). 📚✨
📖 The Chapter Check-In: 29/12/2025
This week’s Chapter Check-In is coming a little early thanks to festive chaos, birthdays, and the upcoming Yearly Wrap-Up. With zero reading progress (oops), a lot of family time, and plenty of post-Christmas contentment, this check-in is all about slowing down, reflecting, and easing into the New Year — snacks, musicals, and all. 📚✨
⭐ Rough Book Review
A fast, spicy, werewolf-cowboy romance that was easy to dip in and out of during the December chaos. Instant connection, big emotions near the end, Boyd being Boyd (💀❤️), and a surprise tear-jerker moment I didn’t see coming. Fun, quick, trope-filled — a solid 3-star read with plenty of heat.
📚 November Wrap Up
November was a mix of holiday prep, cozy vibes, and productivity. I crushed my goals, tackled audiobooks, and had fun with crafts, all while managing the festive chaos!
