Inspired by, but also slightly overawed by, the 50 book thread, this is a thread for those who love to log their reading but don't have the time or inclination for such a high target. The aim is to read 25 books but it really doesn't matter if you don't get close to that or far exceed it - the idea is to exchange recommendations and thoughts.
I loved this thread last year and was really inspired by some of the suggestions so have taken the liberty of starting this year's version.
I only managed 19 books last year due partly to being a slow reader (even though I'm an English graduate and teacher) and also it being a rather busy and stressful year. I'm definitely hoping to beat that score in 2019.
Please number your books and give titles in bold to make it easy to follow as well as sharing thoughts about them.
My favourite book of last year was The Heart's Invisible Furies', as recommended here.
Just finished my first book of the year:
1. 'Why Mummy Drinks' by Gill Sims (bought for me by my own mother for Christmas - no offence taken!!)
Light hearted and well-observed, this was very enjoyable. Some laugh out loud moments as well as many wry observations about family life. I think I would have enjoyed it more if her children didn't sound so totally insufferable!
Looking forward to sharing our reading this year.
