I can never remember what I’ve read or what I want to read, so I’ve put together a list at my home page. I’ve linked through to my reviews.
Also, as part of a Facebook challenge, I’ve been listing my 10+ favourite books (clearly, I took it a bit further than expected) however I decided to just pick female authors. Not all are my favourite, and I only chose one book per author despite loving several books by some authors. I’m going to keep updating it here, and I’ve decided to start adding non-binary authors also, just because.
