Well, it's 2023! We've been back for 2 weeks and this year seems to be flying already!
That being said: For some, January can be a difficult time of year and many of us can struggle with the cold weather, dark mornings and post-Christmas slump.
We're here to tell you how we use books and reading-related activities to cheer ourselves up at times like these...
