Nope it’s too soon! What if i read an absolute banger between now and 31 December?! eh?! what then?!
The image shows a screenshot of the Goodreads app's notifications page. The highlighted notification reads: "Review your 2024 Year in Books with personalized reading stats," posted 8 hours ago. Below the notification, an overlay text in pink reads: "NOPE NOPE NOPE." Beneath this, more text in pink states: "I still have 10 reading days left of 2024!! My year is not over and cannot be reviewed @goodreads." The background of the app is beige, and the interface displays tabs for "Notifications," "Messages," and "Requests."

My latest BookTube - festive holiday recs with zero romance

youtu.be/hllAEAl3geU?...
A cheerful holiday-themed image featuring a person with bright yellow glasses, smiling while holding a scruffy black and tan dog wearing a festive bow tie. They are in front of a glowing Christmas tree adorned with red and gold ornaments. The text at the top reads "HOLIDAY READING RECS" in bold red lettering, flanked by holly decorations. On the right side of the image, there is a collage of holiday-themed book covers, including titles like *The Christmas Appeal*, *NOS4A2*, and *Krampus*. The overall vibe is festive and cozy.
