In the last few days I've seen that three independent comic/book shops have announced their imminent closure. Well-run, well known, established shops owned, operated and curated by people who have put their heart and soul into the businesses.
There will be more.

Vellichor - what a wonderful word! We're definitely feeling a bit wistful in the bookshop today, but still wanting to wish you all a very Happy New Year!

Rosemary Sutcliff, born on this day 14th December 1920

That time of year thou mayst in me behold

When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,

Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

Shakespeare - Sonnet 73
