Most of these were read a very long time ago and all I have left is an impression of whether I enjoyed them or not, rather than any detail of the story. There are some I haven't included as I didn't finish them and there are also quite a few in my TBR pile which is promising for the future. My next job will be to list my TBR pile and then just get on with them!
