Number 2 for this year should go on later today.

I listened to it, but since then I have bought a copy for my brother and brother-in-law knowing they'd like it as well - So I guess that's a good endorsement. <br />The Terry Pratchett one was a series of interviews with him and I found it really profound with his words of wisdom. I'd suggest listening to it though - it's free on the Borrowbox App if you're UK based which is the free library app. <br />I've not heard of Story graph so will have to look it up. <br />I'm determined to write more this year (and I like to think I wrote a fair bit last year), I want to finish my fiction novel and move on to some other projects I've got in my head.

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on Adam Savage's book and the Terry Pratchett biography. Could you just occasional add reviews onto this blog, I think it would fit with the vibe of the blog. Last year I read 218 books, but as I'm school librarian most of those were children's and YA chapter books. I don't track picture books, but for this year I'm aiming to review one picture book on Instagram each day.

I often post one tweet reviews of all the books I read, although not many are to my main set of followers tastes I fear!

I don't listen to audio books, but I don't have a TV and a use public transport giving me plenty of time for reading.<br />I read several of the books on your list last year too.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348319134441118134noreply@blogger.com
