Cheers to a Bookish New Year:

Turning the Page with Bas Bleu

As another year draws to a close, we at Bas Bleu find ourselves surrounded—happily, as always—by stacks of books, well-loved journals, and steaming cups of tea. It’s a familiar scene, but one we never tire of. The past twelve months have been full of literary adventures, from rediscovering classic favorites to discovering new stories that made us laugh, cry, and see the world with fresh eyes.

Now, as the clock strikes midnight and we begin a new chapter, we’re celebrating that magical moment of turning the page—literally and metaphorically. Whether your resolutions involve reading more, writing more, or simply slowing down to savor quiet moments, we hope the year ahead brings you plenty of time for the stories that move you.

Our Reading Resolutions for the Year Ahead

If you’re setting intentions for 2025, may we suggest a few literary resolutions to inspire you:

Read outside your comfort zone. Choose a genre, author, or topic you might not normally reach for. You never know what hidden gem you’ll find.

Keep a reading journal. Jot down thoughts, favorite lines, and musings as you go. It’s a beautiful way to deepen your connection to each story.

Share your bookish joy. Lend a novel that moved you, send a literary greeting card, or surprise a fellow reader with a thoughtful gift.

Create a reading ritual. Make time for quiet moments—light a candle, pour your favorite drink, and let the world fall away for a few pages.

Looking Ahead with Bas Bleu

In the coming year, you can expect more wit, warmth, and wonder from Bas Bleu. Our editors are already curating new collections of clever books, thoughtful gifts, and delightful discoveries to brighten your shelves—and your days.

So here’s to another year of turning pages, trading stories, and finding joy between the covers of a good book.

From all of us at Bas Bleu, Happy New Year!
May your 2025 be full of stories worth savoring and moments worth remembering.
