Instead of writing individual
reviews for all the books I have read, I am just going to condense them into
what I have read each month.
At the beginning of 2019, I set
myself the task on Goodreads to read 120 books this year, which means I need to
read about 2 a week. Between January and September, I managed to read 115
books. And in October I managed to read
8, which now brings me up to 123 which means I have hit my target of 120! Which
is fantastic – wonder how many more I will read in the last two months of the
year.
In July I listed the books my
genre as I had read so man books, and have decided to do the same again.

At the Wedding by Matt Dunn
My favourite book this month was
Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robyn Talley – this is a book about racism in The 1950s which focuses on two girls –the first one is a black girl who is part of
a group of 8 who start to attend an all-white school and the second girl is one
of those pupils in the all-white school who opposes the ‘negroes’ coming into
their space. This book talks of hardship, friendship and the crossing of lines.
It is a very well written brave book and one which I would recommend to others
to read – both adults and children.
