I hoped to read more non-fiction this year than I actually have, so I'll have to try and continue with that next year. An excellent book I read this year was Touretteshero by Jessica Thom.
I think that's it for the reading round-ups for now. Thanks for reading!

I liked Necessary Lies. Bellman and Black was good but I liked The Thirteenth Tale better. :)

ENJOY your reading week and your Christmas week.

Amity and Sorrow is such an amazing debut. I encouraged my Mum to buy a copy and she is reading it now - safe to say, she loves it (and is making me want to re-read it already). Great list!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have read any of these, I get so many recommends from you, temptress!
