    This is a great list of books! I just finished the Call the Midwife triology, so I’m looking for a new book.

      I have just finally been reading The Ninth Girl and I need to read some more on this list. Reading is joyful and relaxing. It;s so important to be able to enjoy that time.

    That is such a big collection of books, I’ll have to really think hard on which I’d like to read!

    I did not read enough this year. I made it my goal to read two books a month, but I could barely finish one! Yikes!
