By this, of course, I don't mean tomes of novels, in which we may lose interest before we finish. Rather, the books which we can dip into from month to month, or as the season changes. Books which offer instruction, advice, or simply encourage us to reflect throughout the year.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESuch books are often most popular in the run-up to Christmas, as they are presented prominently on bookshop displays enticing customers to purchase these lovely pages as gifts for loved ones to enjoy. By January, they are all-too-frequently shelved again, as though their contents matter less once the tinsel and baubles have been taken down.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI disagree. Such delights can and should be enjoyed no matter what the season. Such books may live atop our bedside table or the sideboard shelf, opened frequently so they do not gather dust. With renewed pleasure as weeks pass, since what seemed irrelevant in the colder days matters much more when the first buds of spring emerge, or the falling leaves of autumn grace out gardens.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMy list is by no means complete. What follows is a selection of books I myself have found interesting, and which I hope will satisfy a multitude of tastes and pleasures. Finding such titles without prior knowledge of their existence has proved a little difficult, so please feel free to tell me of your own favourite \"yearlong\" reads in the comments below so we can share with others looking for such books.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ECountry Diary of an Edwardian Lady by Edith Holden\u003C\/h3\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: , \u0026quot;blinkmacsystemfont\u0026quot;
