My reading year

I read 58 books this year, which is about average for me, and I have enjoyed lots of really good books. So it was hard to choose my top 10. Here then is my top 12, although there are several others that could have been included. 

Six newly-published books; six from the past. Two were re-reads, probably re-re-re-reads (the Murdoch and the Brontë). Only one non-fiction, the wonderful Thunderclap (which eventually inspired our trip to The Hague). I have part-read several other non-fiction, but I do find it hard to finish them - I soon get bored. 

So that's it. I am currently reading my Christmas book - The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller. And I look forward to another brilliant reading year. 

We did a bit of shopping in M&S this morning and came across lots of 'yellow sticker' bargains - our freezer is now full. Perhaps as well with the weather warnings around - we are staying put now for a few days and may well be snowed in!!
