It’s the first photo challenge of 2015, and the theme is “new.” Cliché? Perhaps, but clichés develop for a reason. For many of us, the year’s beginning is time to take stock of the past and plan for the future; this week, let’s get excited about those plans by celebrating what’s new.
Well, I’m expecting something new and really exciting this week but meanwhile, for me, these are pretty cool!
My new Christmas books, with their bright paper and sweet scent, tempting me into their pages, but I’m resisting until I’ve finished my current read.
Got something new to photograph? show us all here, https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/new/

Happy reading!
I love new books!
Peering hard to make out the titles 🙂 Is that ‘Windrush South’ Gilly? And what excitement are you waiting for? (just whisper 🙂 )
Windrush Songs!
Juat a small package 😉
I too love books; the physical thing of them. I’m reluctant to part with books I have been inside. This New Year I ask, ‘How many books do I need?’
Um, how about one a week?
Enjoy 😀
‘The Five Minute Writer’ is the one I would open first. Nice selection, Gilly. Enjoy. 🙂
Nothing like a new book…unless it’s a new reading of an old favorite. 🙂

Nice interpretation for this week’s photo challenge.
I love the insight into your reading life. Short reviews as you read, please.
Today’s “new” for me is a new dilemma: the country airline taking us all to my niece’s wedding in remote North Queensland in April has just ceased trading.
Oh no, share a hire car or two?
Not that easy. Bad roads impassable if it rains. Maybe charter a plane – there’ll be a few of us. I’m booked on a boat for the return to Cairns.
I love books arriving. Such excitement. I like how you captured these.
Happy New Year, Gilly.
Love the smell of new books….and old ones! Libraries make me giddy!! Enjoy!
gotta love books – real ones, with pages made of paper that need to be turned manually…. 🙂
Hours of pleasure in one photograph.
I usually have a pile that I have been lucky to get for Christmas. This year though, as we are going on our long trip I had a Kindle. Not really sure what to do with it & what books to put on it. You can’t get the feel of them from the ‘selling’ screen. I’m going to find them in the shops then decide I think!
Ooo how exciting, where are you going?
Lol I know just the short story you could start with http://www.cutalongstory.com/stories/henley-to-brighton/10239.html
I love books! A Kindle just isn’t the same…..
Tell us what you think.
Kindles may be convenient when travelling but nothing beats curling up with a real book.
I do love my kindle, but I can SMELL those new pages from here.
