I’m so relieved I found my reading mojo again this year, after last year’s sad total of five. Going on holidays helped. There’s nothing like having only two or three free-to-air tv stations to get book covers opening. Books also got me through the difficult first seven months of the year. It’s intriguing to me that I didn’t read any traditional fantasy, instead powering through series of science fiction, horror, and modern day setting fantasy – as well as a stand-alone near-future science fiction book, a retelling of nordic myths, and an alternative feminist regency story.

No non fiction this year, which is unusual. I was reading a non-fiction book on hoarding at the start of 2023, but stopped because it was depressing me.
