Another year, and the hope and possibilities of another large pile of books to read. I am doing things a little differently this year, even though I will still publish a monthly TBR a lot of what I am going to be reading I have already chosen on a planning matrix that I have developed to ensure that I include books that meet the plans that I had written about in my intentions here. If you like to see that, let me know & I can email you a link to the file

Slow Trains To Istanbul – Tom Chesshyre is a good read.
I have liked everything of his I have read so far
He almost tempts me to get off my butt and go explore the world….almost 🙂
Faints…
I just finished a Place of Tides and adored it. I’m very interested to hear how While the Earth Holds its Breath: Embracing The Winter Season goes.
That is good to know. While the Earth Holds its Breath is good so far.
I just tried to leave a comment and it disappeared! I have Iconicon on my wishlist and his Concretopia on my TBR, and I’m enjoying David, Yinka and Femi Olusoga’s “Black History For Every Day of the Year” as my read-every-day book: I hope you’re enjoying yours as much as I’m enjoying that one.
I have no idea why that would have happened! Sorry! I thought Iconicon was his best yet.
