I have read 321 books this year. A 350ish page novel takes a day and a half when you are stuck in bed/hospital, do I have been able to plough through books.
I have gone an entire year without purchasing a book from Amazon. Support your local bookshop, I know they are often a pound or two more expensive than Amazon. But all that really is a ready made sandwich for lunch, or a bottle of Coke. You can make a real difference to someone's livelihood and your high street.
My absolute stand out book was Betty. I read that very early in the year and nothing really came close following, that was a solid 5*. I did have some decent reads after that but nothing that is truly worth a mention.
Support local. And if you don't have a local book shop maybe try Bert's Books. He will source any book you are after even if it isn't already listed on his site.
reads!
but incorporating most within the first two challenges of course 
filled 2024.
I’ve been battling my way through The Christmas Bookshop for nearly a week now and am so close to DNFing. This would have previously been right up my street for a festive easy read but it’s so blooming predictable that I want to throw it across the room! Please send help to a bookworm who no longer likes any book she picks up! 
wishing everyone the very best for 2024!
