OVERVIEW: 2023 highlights
Jan. 4th, 2024 12:09 pmI see I'm getting round to this a day earlier than last year. Perhaps 'summary' is a better description than 'highlights.'
I read 49 books in 2023, a decent increase on last year, thanks in part to the Good Thing that happened at the end of April. The vast majority were by women and new to me, and had mainly been bought (mostly online) in 2020. But I returned properly to charity shops and bookshops, so I bought more random books, which have gone on my 'to be read' pile.
Most of the children’s books I read were Girls Own books, although a lot were mediocre and some subpar, and I didn’t bother posting about them (be grateful I didn’t review ‘A Girl Governess’ by A.E. Ward.) ( Read more... )
Here's hoping the best for 2024.
