Every month instead of writing
individual book reviews for the books I had read, I just post a list of those
books. At the beginning of the year, I
set a target of reading 60 books but due to lockdown and having more time on my
hands, I actually hit that target in April so I increased my target to 100, and
by end of July, I had read 102. Instead of increasing my target again, I decided
I would just read for the sake of reading.
Most months in 2020 I have been
able to read 10 or more books, but in October I only managed to read 8 books. So what books did I read?
Crime
Blue Moon by Lee Child
Little Bird by Sharon Dempsey
Christian
Idols of the Heart by Elyse
Fitzpatrick
Healthy Faith and the Corona
Virus by Luke Cowly etc
Fiction
False Impressions by Jeffrey
Archer
Short Stories
Six Foot Six by Kit De Waal
Non-Fiction
Diary
of a Naturalist by Dara McAnulty
Children’s
The
Trouble with Donovan Croft by Bernard Ashley
The best book I have read in October has to be Diary of a Naturalist
by Dara McAnulty. This book is brilliant in many different ways but mainly
because it was written by a 14-year-old boy who is also Autistic. It is written
so well and Dara’s descriptions of nature are brilliant and I had to read it
with google in my hand so I could look up the birds and other things he talked
about. When Dara was describing being in a place or looking at something, I
actually really felt I was standing there beside him seeing or experiencing the
same thing.
