My Year in Books (2022)

I thought I’d better try and post something before the year ends and then up popped Cathy at 746 books with her meme My Year in Books. I can never resist a quiz or a challenge, so I looked through some of the books I’d read this year and answered her prompts. Here is the result.

In high school I was Lost for Words (Deric Longden).

People might be surprised by Siracusa (Delia Ephron).

I will never be The Whistleblower (Robert Preston).

My life post-lockdown was Act of Oblivion (Robert Harris)

My fantasy job is The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher (Hilary Mantel)

At the end of a long day, I need The Rosie Effect (Graeme Simsion)

I hate being A Keeper (Graham Norton)

I wish I had A Song for Dark Times (Ian Rankin)

My family reunions are Play All (Clive James)

At a party you’d find me with The Sympathizer (Viet Thanh Nguen)

 I’ve never been to The Salt Path (Raynor Winn)

 A happy day includes House of Fun (Simon Hoggart)

Motto I live by:  Kick Ass (Carl Hiassen)

On my bucket list is Hunting Season (Andrea Camilleri)

In my next life, I want to have Nada (Carmen Laforet)

If you feel like joining in, just do your own list from the prompts and let Cathy know.
