Look, I know the year isn’t finished yet and I’m still racing towards trying to finish 100 books before December 31st is out, but after all the reviewing this year the least I can do is give you a few ideas in one place in case you’re buying books for others or you get a book token yourself.
I haven’t included classic books I’ve read this year, merely those from the last couple of years or so.
They’re ordered by category, just in case certain genres aren’t your thing. Click on each title to see the full review from earlier in the year.
Enjoy 🙂
