what’s the buzz: weekly round-up and book haul
Well, there was this little thing called Christmas that happened this week haha! Seriously though, it’s been good getting a little break from work (back on Monday though – boo!) Only problem was everyone was sick with the cold (except for me, go figure) so Christmas dinner didn’t really happen this year.
Still have dinner obvs, just not the full all-trimmings dinner (I would have a vegan version though since I became vegan in January after being a vegetarian for 20+ years!) To be honest, we will probably have it at New Year instead once everyone has recovered a little bit.
Got a really good haul of presents again this year (I am totally spoiled rotten!) and I’m using my main one right now because I got a new laptop! It’s very fancy… 😉
There was a bit of a Nendoroid theme going on (as well as just a few Final Fantasy plushes and Funkos!) but I also got a few games, books and some vouchers and money.
I also got myself some bookish merch – because it would be wrong not too! I got this amazing ACOTAR calendar from Jana Runneck featuring artwork from some of my very favourite artists! It also came with three lovely prints as well!
I also tracked down the other print from the Owlcrate Queen of Nothing box via Facebook B/S/T groups. I am so happy with it! Plus, a couple of pins: the Cassian one from Jo Painter and the other Kell one from Ocean Kissed Treasures.

You always have such a huge haul of books – I’m so jealous!!! Looks like Christmas was good to you, but hopefully your family all starts feeling better so you can have a nice family meal/get-together!
Wow, you really had a large haul of books!
I’m glad you enjoyed getting a new laptop for Christmas. It’s a bummer that your family were all sick with a cold. I hope they’re on the mend now.
