Bookish Blog Hops Holiday Hop Recap: 15 Days of Festive Book Prompts
Welcome back to BlogMas! Today I’m recapping the Bookish Blog Hops Holiday Hop—a fun 15-day event where fellow book bloggers and I shared festive bookish prompts.
I was supposed to post this on Saturday but forgot to update it and finish setting it up so you get it as a second post today (which means I'm still 17 for 17 for BlogMas this month ;)).

Holiday Hop Recap
From 1st- 15th December I took part in the Holiday Hop organised via Bookish Blog Hops. 15 days of bookish fun with my fellow book blogging buddies. A great way to start the festive season.
We joined in answering a variety of book/reading related questions each day.
