Literature: January 2022 Books

Wow, how did we get to 2022 already? The past two years seem to have gone fast despite being in lockdown most of the time.

In 2021 I managed to read 158 books, but this year I am scaling down a bit and aim to read 120  -12 each month!  In January I read eight books so did not meet that challenge.

Recommended Books

If you go to the London Underground, you will see boards in each station that are used for announcements, etc. However, two of the TfL workers who are known on social media as All on Board, use those boards to write positive messages or messages of celebration on certain days like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, etc. They have also been known to write messages at North Greenwich station where the 02 arena is, in recognition of the artists who would be playing there – often using song titles to write the message.

This book contains many of these notices – it is a very interesting read. Overall, the messages can be funny and inspirational etc.
