My last #12booksof2024 for #December is very appropriate for this graphic/challenge @Andrew65 !

Stephen argues that the 12 gifts in the song are actually ALL UK birds, and his argument is pretty convincing, although there are some weak links.

Honourable mentions for the second half of the year:
Dead Simple by Peter James
Bible of the Dead by Tom Knox

Andrew65 I love the Roy Grace Series. 1mo

An interesting look at what Thomas Hardy's life COULD have been like during the writing of Tess of the D'Urbevilles and what it MIGHT have been like the days after his first wife's (Emma) death.

Hello Litsy!
I know it's been a while since I posted, but it's a combination of the app not working, a broken hip, and a reading slump!
Anyway, this book has helped get me out of the 4 month reading slump, so I recommend it with reservations. The next picture I post will be under a spoiler, as it contains the content warnings.

It was very close between The Word is Murder and Dead Simple (hence the bonus pick), but considering that I've already bought another book in the Horowitz series and not the James, I think it means this book won for September.

Librarybelle I love the Horowitz series! 4mo

This is a definite new favourite series! I can't say too much about this because we haven't discussed it yet, but I feel for Shardlake. He doesn't seem to get a break from some of his problems!

I'm doing the series on Audible, and Steven Crossley does a fab job of doing different voices for the characters.

Thank you for my #staycationintimeswap! I love everything and looking forward to reading the books whilst drinking the coffee!

maich I hope you like it. My destination is Croatia and I didn't found Croatian authors translated in english so I sent you books from your litsy tbr. Hope that's okay. I chose coffee and chocolate, which are typical of Balkan countries (ex Yugoslavia). 6mo
Chrissyreadit 😍😍😍😍 6mo
jenniferw88 @maich That's absolutely fine with me. I did realise that my historical period was rather specific (and therefore difficult to get books on)! 6mo
