Favourite book this month: Codename Charming

Most read author: Georgette Heyer if you’re counting the Audiobook re-listens, Simon Brett if you’re not – with two Mrs Pargeters.

Books bought: Astonishingly only one ebook, although a pre-order of Codename Charming arrived, and five books – four of which came on one afternoon, mostly in The Works! I’ve added a couple of pre-orders to the list – all stuff that’s coming much closer to Christmas.

Books read in 2023: 252

Books on the Goodreads to-read shelf (I don’t have copies of all of these!): 704

I still need to work harder on the non fiction, and some of those long runners of mine are non fiction so it shouldn’t be as hard as I’m finding it. But basically it wasn’t a bad month in reading all in all. Lots of mysteries, a few good romances and reminders of more than one series I had forgotten about!

Bonus picture: I will never be over the Freddie Mercury auction show, so of course it’s another picture from that. This is the last weekend before it all goes under the hammer and I wish I could go back again for another look.
