Under my Christmas tree is like to find a book token/gift card so I can reduce my wishlist and then watch my TBR pile finally topple over! It’s on the verge already, but hey ho ♀️
As usual I’m hoping to find some Christmas Crime Novels under the tree!

The best present for me would be Book Tokens. Lots and lots of them so as I can pick my own books. I might also need a new bookcase to keep the books in
