Photo dump from Christmas at the Castle Unfortunately I didn't wake up to any snow today but here's a pic I took at Warwick Castle last weekend, with some chunky frost. Like many other readers, one of my bookish goals for 2026 is to bring down my physical TBR. I figured it'd be best to start reading the fantasy trilogies I already own before I buy anything new. πŸ˜… I'm still figuring out all my reading goals for 2026 but I know for certain I'll be reading all of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series! Got the original Five Nights at Freddy's trilogy for christmas πŸŽπŸŽ„ Merry Christmas! My grandad gifted me his copy of The Lord of the Rings from 1970! Its the Fifth Impression of the revised second edition. Goes for a few bob on ebay, apparently. Though I will be keeping them forever! 🎢 and it's Michael Caine in a Christmas film 🎢 Been tempted by The Stormlight Archive since it started coming out. I'm not really interested in reading Sanderson's entire backlog just to started The Way of Kings - the series is already so long on its own!
