I have over 130 bookmarks which I have placed in books on my library bookcase, some are large tomes that have been sat there looking at me for a while so I may not do so many this year.

9. Pantheon by Sam Bourne - Waterstone's Read and Review win.10. Love In The Time Of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez
13. Sisters in Arms: British Army Nurses Tell Their Story by Nicola TyrerWhat a story! I have been outraged, in tears and have laughed at parts of this book. I have travelled all over the world with these nurses from France, Belgium, India, Africa, Singapore, Burma, Hong Kong, Malta, to places that have changed their name several times since then.
These nurses lived through shipwrecks and being shot at in the water by Japanese soldiers and airman, starved, tortured and raped in POW camps in jungles, under siege in Malta for 3 yrs, lived in deserts in Egypt and Africa with hardly any water to drink never mind about washing.
A must-read tale of courage in dreadfull conditions and circumstances.

Ummm...I'm thinking those books you are reading take a ton more attention than what I've been reading. I'm quite impressed. You're doing great!
