The challenge for this year was to read 30 books – two more than last year.

The number of books I read? 30.

Nice.

The stats…

The books…

Quite a selection in the end.

My favourites of the year, all getting 4 stars:

‘Where the Crawdads Sing‘ – slightly late to the party – loved it.

‘A Walk from the Wild Edge’ – my favourite non-fiction of the year.

‘Eleanor and Park’ – favourite teenage fiction of the year.

‘The Hike’ – classic thriller – really liked it.

‘The Daves Next Door’ – my favourite Will Carver of the year – love all his novels.
