Ok so it might be nine (yes nine) years since I first did this but a reflection of the years blogging gone past has led me back to it and I thought it would be good to come back to it and try it in 2020.
Thank you to Simon at Stuck in a Book who created it, all credit to him.
1.) The book I’m currently reading:
If you have seen the Channel 5 programme or even seen Amanda and her nine (yes nine) children interviewed and fascinated but where it all started. This is the place to start and I am thoroughly enjoying it.
2.) The last book I finished:
Despite the ARC being badly formatted through netgalley this really is a great book and I recommend it for anyone who likes cosy crime. Not sure if that was his intention but it is full of everything that makes us uniquely British.
3.) The next book I want to read:
I read the first last year alongside the television adaptation – I was enthralled and as I can see the programme is coming back soon, I feel I need to go back and catch up with Lyra and more of the story.
4.) The last book I bought:
For the sake of completeness and as a treat for my holiday and not going away I bought the next two in the Yorkshire Shepherdess.
5.) The last book I was given:
Not really given as would have to go all the way back to Christmas but this is the current book I have borrowed from my mum, as part of the Read Christie 2020 challenge.
Well there is a snapshot of the here and now – I am sure Simon would not mind if you joined in.
What it has shown me is that there has been relatively few books bought in 2020 for obvious reasons I suppose. I am starting to see some gaps on my shelves and it feels good to be working my way through the books that have been waiting an age to read.
I may well do this again at some point – it may take me another nine years, but who knows? The ten years reflecting posts have only reached 2012 but I hope to make more of a headway now I have some time off work and going back through all the posts.
2020 has in many ways certainly been a time of reflection.
The Book Jotter 
Really pleased to hear you enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club, as I also have a copy I am excited to read! I hope you will love The Subtle Knife. 😊
Ooh I’ve got Richard Osmans on my kindle from NetGalley, I really must get to it! Lovely blog you have, look forward to reading more ☺️
Hope you enjoy…the formatting is a bit wonky but once you get over that it’s fine.
