It's that time again when I take stock of the books I have read this year and say a whopping big thank you to everyone for making Jaffareadstoo such a fun place to hang out.
Thank you also to the 56 authors who have given generously of their time and have allowed Jaffa and I to intrude into their writing time and who have contributed some interesting and informative interviews.
~***~
I've read over 200 books this year so it's been a real challenge to complete my "best of " list
But here goes...in no particular order...these are a few of my favourites
Huge thanks, as always, must go to the individual authors and publishers who have trusted Jaffareadstoo with their most precious books. We hope that we did your books justice.
