Last year I read 30 books, so was hoping to go at least one better.
I failed.
I ended up reading 29 books – I think I may have read a few more teenage fiction last year and also had to drag myself through a couple of long books this year – but I’m happy.
The stats…
Another good year with a good selection of different books.
My favourites, according to my arbitrary 5 star rating, all got 4 stars:
- ‘You Are Here’ by David Nichols – favourite of the year – probably deserved more than 5 stars!
- ‘When Our World’s Collided’ by Danielle Jawando – teenage fiction last year- three teenagers all witness a stabbing
- ‘Everyone Here is Lying’ by Shari Lapena – really liked this – crime thriller
- ‘The Accomplice’ by Steve Cavanagh – read a couple of his this year
- ‘The Book with No Name’ by Anonymous – not my usual read but absolutely loved it
- ‘My Sister, the Serial Killer’ by Oyinkan Braithwaite – great read
- ‘The Beresford’ by Will Carver – had to be a Will Carver – I love him!
- ‘Ducking Long Way’ by Mark Akinson – best running book of the year!
So another successful reading year, definitely targeting 31 books in 2025.
