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.
In January I set myself the target of reading 60 books however in March I increased this target to 100
because I was already nearing the target. And then again in May, I thought I
should increase the target as was only 23 books away from my target having read
77 books. Now it is the end of June and
I have managed to read another 13, taking me up to 89 – so will reassess target
in July but may go up to 145 as my friend said that since I read 139 in 2019
then I should try and read more than that in 2020.
So what have I read in June then?

These
are the Hands by Michael Rosen is a compilation book by people from the NHS
writing poems in reflection on the work that they have done in their time
working within the NHS. It was a good book and interesting seeing how people
see their work and the positives and negatives they face every day. The poems
are a mixture of sadness and happiness and seem to be a true reflection of the
work within the NHS.
