20 Books of Summer 2024 — decisions made at last

It’s time for 20 Books of Summer once more though looking at these cloud formations during my recent trip to the Isle of Mull you’d be hard pressed to believe summer is just around the corner.

This year marks the 10th anniversary for this highly popular reading event hosted by Cathy from 746 Books.  It will be my seventh attempt. i’ve never yet managed anything like 20 books — one year i hit the heady heights of 18 but mostly I’ve hovered around 13.

This year I’ll aim to read 15 between June 1 and September 1 but I’ll list more than that number just to give myself plenty of wriggle room. Even then I’ll be reserving my right to change my mind and read an entirely different list!

I’ve learned two important lessons from previous years:

So my list includes a short story collection, a few novellas and some chunksters. I’ve also attempted to include titles that will help me make progress on various reading challenges like the Classics Club, Adventures in African Reading and Reading Emile Zola.

Links will take you to my reviews.
