This is a thing I’ve done for a while on Facebook, and it seems to fit better here, so I should give the backstory.

I had a friend, Steve Davies aka Spartacus Mills, self-styled ‘Britain’s laziest #surrealist’ (there was stiff competition). We never met irl, but he was a scabrous, provocative, delightful and hilarious presence online.

Sparty would post a list of the books he’d read each year. This hadn’t occurred to me, but watching him do it made it looked kind of fun. Plus, there was always the interest in crossover in our reading, and thinking about books I’d read he might like. So I started to keep a list one year, looking forward to sharing it with him.

And Sparty died. It was a terrible, stupid accident while he was out walking with his beloved dog, and even though we never met I still feel that ache of his absence. So I did a list that year, and decided to carry on doing it.

THREAD 1/

Katherine Pangonis, Queens of Jerusalem: The Women Who Dared to Rule

Leanda de Lisle, Henrietta Maria: The Warrior Queen Who Divided a Nation #2022books #bookreviews #history #womeninhistory

I have 1 book left to read to hit my goal of 75 for 2022. I have the day off, a 10 hour audio book (that I listen to at 2.5x speed), and a lot if mundane tasks to do.

I can do this! 😄

2023 Reading Challenge, I am ready for yah! 😎

That's all I got through in #2022books and I am honestly amazed that I even got through that much. Knowledge and reading/listening is the key to everything.
So #2022books was the year I ever so slightly surpassed (18) my #2021books books read (16).
.
Glad I continued to put them into my Book Journal because otherwise, I would have forgotten them all by now! My handwriting, as my mother would say, leaves a lot to be desired.

Some physical books I bought and read this year! And some of them are gifts from friends 😋📚🏳️‍🌈

Ayers and King are no longer alone on my Sapphic shelf 🥰
