My Life in Books is the perfect antidote to the post Christmas energy slump.
Thanks to Lizzy Siddal for reminding me that it’s time to play this game once more. The idea is simple:
Using only books you have read this year, answer these prompts. Try not to repeat a book title.
Links in the titles below will take you to my reviews where they exist.
