2018 was the year in which I rediscovered my love of reading. Having unaccountably read only 2 books in 2017, and with a growing pile of books coming into my house and waiting to be read, I set myself a target of 12 books to read during the year. I reached that target on 12th August and carried on.
1. The Muse - Jessie Burton
2. The Roundabout Man - Clare Morrall
3. The Piano Tuner - Daniel Mason
4. Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
5. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - Mary Ann Shaffer and
Annie Barrows
6. Perfect - Rachel Joyce
7. Prisoner 4374 - A.J. Griffiths-Jones
8. Sanditon - Jane Austen and Another Lady
9. Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
10. The Tale of Beatrix Potter - Margaret Lane
11. Regeneration - Pat Barker
12. The Eye In The Door - Pat Barker
13. The Ghost Road - Pat Barker

17. The Hills Is Lonely - Lillian Beckwith
18. The Sea For Breakfast - Lillian Beckwith

I've listened to - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman and will read soon - The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, for the book club. Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI loved both of those. I thought Eleanor was so sad and I understood her entirely. I bought my copy of TGL&PPPS from Oxfam online and was delighted to find that it had been signed by Annie Barrows so although it's gone to Guernsey now with The Mathematician, it's a long-term loan rather than a gift. x
