Favourite book this month: If we’re not including Gaudy Night which I read once and listened to on audio twice in August, then it’s Battle Royal
Most read author: George Bellairs -an astonishing 7 Inspector Littlejohn books, because when I make something I can colour in I really commit.
Books bought: 5, of which 3 were preorders
Books read in 2021: 265
Books on the Goodreads to-read shelf (I don’t have copies of all of these!): 608
So basically this was the month of murder mysteries, and also one where I want a massive binge of one series. Oh and the (latest) Amelia Peabody re-read is still going, even as I’m still trying to hunt down the Barbara Rosenblatt versions of the final few books in audio, which seem to be impossible to come by in the UK. Very frustrating.
Bonus photo is the updated Littlejohn list after this month’s binge!
