A propos de ma bibliothèque

I still buy far too many books, my unread outnumber my read ones, but it's a nice struggle! I aim to read over 120 books each year, and to review most of the books I read - Do let me know what you think, (expanded reviews and comments are on my blog 'AnnaBookBel' http://www.annabookbel.net/ and also http://shinynewbooks.co.uk which I co-founded and co-edit).

While I mostly read contemporary and 20thC literature, I also read some genre fiction (primarily crime & SF) and non-fiction (esp good biographies, anything rock'n'roll and popular science/medical books). I believe the best children's novels are as good as adult ones, although I read little YA now.

In 2023 I've read 40 books to 22 April and 5 have earned 10/10:

The Birds by Tarjei Vesaas
The True Deceiver by Tove Jansson
Foster by Claire Keenan
Trespasses by Louise Kennedy
Viper's Dream by Jake Lamar
