Oh many titles I’ve never heard of here! I’m currently also on the wolf hall train ✨ on the side I’m trying to read my way through my huge unread pile - it’s kinda of exciting discovering what is on my own shelves

I will never get through all the books I want to read ... I might take a leaf out of your book (see what I did there) and make a list for myself. Right now I'm slow reading Book 2 of War and Peace; from your list, I've read Wolf Hall (and the other books in the trilogy), loved A Year of Marvellous Ways, want to read Mary Oliver's works and I've made a note of a couple of others to read.

Along with the slow read, I'm reading Wintering by Katherine May (wow) and The Way of the Fearless Writer by Beth Kempton. I'm listening to ... and this might sound weird, the audio book of my book Wildflower, because I wanted to hear the audio for myself. The narrator has done a wonderful job and I'm thrilled with it.

"When I think of all the books still left for me to read, I am certain of further happiness"

I love this quote. As someone who has been buying books much faster than I'm able to read them, it makes me giddy looking at all of the unread books on my shelf that are waiting for me in 2024.

As another avowed ‘non-joiner-in’ I’m enjoying the War & Peace and #WolfCrawl slow reads, and seem to have also acquired a Beowulf along the way. Thanks for the 2024 reading list - I’ll be shamelessly stealing some of these.

I am currently reading Cacophony of Bone too and so far enjoying its quite prose immensely.

Thanks Barrie. I can't get my head around how many people are joining us. But I love these books so much, and I hope you will too!
