I have been using Goodreads for quite a few years now, to help me curate what books (including the exact editions) I have read every year. Some years are more prolific than overs and this year I am sad but yet not annoyed that I managed 12 complete books and two thirds of Anna Karenina.
I still can't quite believe we are so close to the end of 2018, but Goodreads sent me my yearly list in a nice photo collage and I thought I would share it with you.
I do love books but double vision takes it's toll when it comes to reading and I never make a huge dent in my 'to read' collection. I would seriously LOVE to know of your favourites and maybe I can read them too. Please leave the title in the comments, please xxx

My favourites from the year are:
* The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
* Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
* Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman (really cheap at the moment - click the link!)
* Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
I'm also madly in love with the Penguin English Library series from which Great Expectations and Mrs Dalloway are from. I have a lovely collection gathering up on my shelves now.
So over to you...favourites, anyone?
Maybe you asked for some books for Christmas - what are they?
Love and hugs

Nice post. I'm on Goodreads too but don't list my read books there, or indeed anywhere. I don't think that the number of books you read is important.
ReplyDeleteMy two favourite, non-fiction, books are 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff and Rescue Me by Melissa Wareham. I don't really have any favourite fiction books just plenty that I've enjoyed reading at the time, and a few that I've reread over the years. Happy reading. xx
Oh Mike! I've had 84 Charing Cross Rd on my wishlist for years! I love the film but the book is proving hard to get. I'm trying out a Terry Pratchett at the moment..it's different.x
DeleteIt's one of my favourite films, a real gem. I've never read any Terry Pratchett books, maybe one day I will. xx
DeleteDifferent but fun. Our library reopened this week and I have a fresh dozen. One and a half down. And I bought 2 at the animal shelter shop.
DeleteI tend to read more at this time of year but like Mike I don;y have any favourites. I tend to read time lapse, psychological thrillers, historical fiction but change preferences at will. I have had a Stephen King/James Herbert phase in the past too but haven't read any of their books for a while.
