Having done it in 2022 and 2023, I guess it is now tradition that I collate my reading list for the year here on my blog.
This year's again includes some books which I have really appreciated and enjoyed, but it is noticeably shorter than the previous two. This doesn't in the least bit surprise me, given how this year has been, but is perhaps something to deliberately work on for next year!
- On Heroes and Tombs - Ernesto Sabato
- Memphis - Tara M Stringfellow
- Absolutely and Forever - Rose Tremain
- The Forty Rules of Love - Elif Shafak
- Songbirds - Christi Lefteri
- The House of Doors - Tan Twa Eng
- The Bread the Devil Knead - Lisa Allen Agostini
- Wed Wabbit - Lissa Evans
- We are all completely beside ourselves - Karen Joy Fowler
- My Father's House - Joseph O'Connor
- An Unquiet Mind - Kay Redfield Jamison
- Brotherless Night - VV Ganeshananthan
- An Artist of the Floating World - Kazuo Ishiguro
- The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher - Hilary Mantel
- Why I'm no longer talking to white people about Race - Reni Eddo-Lodge
- The Life and Times of Michael K - J.M. Coetzee
- Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop - Hwang Bo-Reum
- Mothers Boy - Patrick Gale
- A history of the world in 10 1/2 chapters - Julian Barnes
I have just started "An Equal Music" by Vikram Seth, which will start off next year's list, but I am very much open to recommendations as to what else to add!
