Lovely image Andrea. Evoking the delightful scent of old books. Shops where you can browse old books and sip coffee now seem to be a nostalgic memory ... love the contrast of the old and the new! 😊

A very happy new year to you, too! Happy reading (and writing).

Glad you like it, Quantum. Old and new is a good balance, I think. One can't stand still (As physics and chemistry tells us, we're always in a state of change, whether we like it or not!)
I love the scent of old books too, though, alas, it's getting harder and harder to experience. But I like to think it will always be there.
