I love to read. I buy, borrow and beg books from everywhere I can. Maybe it is getting older, or maybe just that I read so many but I have had the annoying (and embarrassing) experience recently of buying a book I have already read. This is so disappointing and frustrating when you think you have found something new by a much loved author.
So I’ve decided to keep a list here of what I have read lately. Sometime in the future, possibly a wee way into the future I will come back and add links and reviews or some sort of sorting and rating system. No promises but I’ll try to get onto it soon.
Unless marked otherwise I enjoyed all the books listed here in some way or another.
