So that is it for the year. Some of those have been on numerous TBRs and others haven’t. A couple of these are Christmas presents and need to be read before I wrap them. (Doesn’t everyone do that?)
Any that take your fancy? Let me know in the comments below
Hm, I’ve got Barkham’s “Islander” – is that the same book, I wonder? Have a good reading month in December. I’m alternating chewy nonfiction to review for Shiny with Dean Street Press novels for the challenge I’m hosting!
This is a different book, Liz, it was a tie into the BBC tv series of the same name
