2024 is the first year I have ever kept track of books I’ve read and listened to on audio. The grand total for the year so far is ninety-nine! I’m sure I can make it to at least a round one hundred before the year is out. My best month was January, with thirteen books read. Hopefully I can repeat that in the coming weeks.

My tastes were eclectic but weighted towards psychological suspense and I read a mixture of new releases and oldies. Ten standouts were – ‘Sisters’ by Daisy Johnson, ‘State of Wonder’ by Anne Patchett, ‘What Happened to Nina?’ by Dervla McTiernan, ‘The Sleepwalkers’ by Scarlett Thomas, ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’ by Shirley Jackson, ‘Siracusa’ by Delia Ephron, ‘The Ministry of Time’ by Kaliane Bradley, ‘Social Creature’, Tara Upton, ‘Prima Facie’ by Suzie Miller, and ‘I Have Some Questions for You’ by Rebecca Makkai.

Thank you for being a subscriber to my blog. I have renamed this page as my Readers Club, but you are still in the right place for my writing news, thoughts, events and special offers! I hope to be sharing some exciting developments in the not-too-distant future.

 I have uploaded a short story called ‘Night Calls’ as a welcome to new subscribers. You can find it here if you would like to read it, or click on the image below.  

Warm wishes for the festive season!
