Favourite book this month: When Grumpy Met Sunshine, I think.

Books on the Goodreads to-read shelf (I don’t have copies of all of these!): 740

The Patti Benning novellas are just so easy to read and there are so many of them that it’s easy just to go straight on from one to the next and ignore the other stuff on the pile. Still I guess it means that I’m getting value for money out of my Kindle Unlimited subscription right?

Bonus picture: two books behind on the beat-the-to-read pile bookshelf, but I’m still confident…

*includes some short stories/novellas/comics/graphic novels – including 13 this month! All those Patti Benning novellas plus one graphic novel.

Well here we are at the end of another year and with a month that turned out to be unexpectedly productive. Who could have predicted that because it was also a really, really busy month. I’ll probably have another rejig of the format of this post for next year, I’m not quite sure how yet but I’ve got a month to think about it haven’t I! I’ve also been thinking about my reading goals and aims for the year but that’s a story for another day. I’ve already told you about my favourite books of the year – you can find those links here, here and here. Onwards we go!

Bonus picture: one last Christmasy photo from the walk to work last week in the Twixtmas.

An okish month. It went a bit off course at times, but towards the end I think I was getting my mojo back. Onwards into November and the start of the real run of Christmas reading…

Bonus picture: a houseplant success – I’ve killed one of these before, nearly killed another and yet – this one has got a new shoot coming!!!
