End of the Book Year 2018/19
June 1, 2019
2018/19 was the year of the series. Two books were bought so I could start/continue a series (Regeneration and The Prime of life) and two books were inadvertently read out of sequence (Framley Parsonage and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). Lots of good books, only one dud – Memoirs of a Geisha. 47 books read. Contenders for Book of the Year were: The Third Policeman, How Late it Was, How Late, The Book of Dust, In Cold Blood, The Eye in the Door, but
the Book of the Year 2018/19 was
His Masterpiece by Emile Zola
