Reader

I'm not that great at actually sitting down and reading, There always seems to be too many other things going on. So this year I set myself a target of just reading a book a month ie twelve over the course of the year. Eleven of them are here - the twelfth was actually the first book I read back in January but it was from the library and it went back. Eagle-eyed viewers may spot another library book in the pile - I got it out in February but what with One Thing And Another it's still in my possession until the libraries open once again.

With no more further ado -

Fiona Mozley - Elmet
Andrew Michael Hurley - Starve Acre
Kazuo Ishiguro - Never Let Me Go
Richard Ford - Rock Springs
Christopher Isherwood - Goodbye To Berlin
Peter Carey - True History Of The Kelly Gang
Pete Paphides - Broken Greek
Jason Williamson - Happy Days
Margaret Atwood - The Handmaid's Tale
Margaret Atwood - The Testaments
Edward St Aubyn - Never Mind
Patricia Highsmith - Little Tales Of Misogyny
