I hope you had a happy Christmas and have enjoyed good company, good food, (good books?), and perhaps some nice long walks too. (Though the weather hasn't been great for that, has it? I was out on the river this weekend and though the water was beautifully flat, I couldn't see very far!)
So now we're looking to the New Year and all that 2025 has in store.
I rather like the lists in the newspapers around this time, pinpointing the books which will be released in the coming months. (I'm not so keen on the lists of books I should have read in the past year!)
There are some fabulous books coming out and I'll be doing my best to mention them here as well as discovering some forgotten gems, too...?
Thank you for reading with me over these past few months. I really appreciate all the messages I receive from you, the books you buy from my page on bookshop.org, your attendance at book groups and author events, and generally your being with me week by week.
It means a great deal to have your support. And, if you are able to spread the word to anyone who might also like these newsletters with their reviews and recommendations, please do encourage them to sign up.
For now, though, I hope you have a happy New Year and I look forward to being in touch again in 2025!
Thank you for reading.
