It's that time of year when bookbloggers begin to reflect on the reading they have done over the course of the year. Some tackle the impossible task (for me it seems impossible) of listing the books they esteem the most. I am thrilled to find my books sneaking onto a few of these lists. These are good book bloggers and they read a lot and they read a lot of great books so this is a supreme honour and my thanks go out to them not least because it might nudge someone else to search out my books and to read them for themselves.
First off is Susan Osborne at 'A Life in Books'. She had earlier blogged about "Hope Never Knew Horizon' and I was aware that she really liked the book. It made her list of top twenty or so books of the year. But better than that she has now listed it as one of the top three books she read in 2024!!!! And that is just amazing. Thank you, Susan.

Another book reader, this time on instagram, earlier in the year read 'Blue Postcards' and 'With or Without Angels' and he said enough to tell me that he really enjoyed both books. Well, you could knock me down with a feather, because Bob of Bobsphere has listed 'Blue Postcards' as one of his top ten books of the year. That's a badge of honour well worth wearing.

And then today, Victoria Best, who blogs at 'Tales From The Reading Room' has posted her list of best books of the year and 'Hope Never Knew Horizon' is there as her best Literary Fiction read of the year! I look forward to her review of the book coming between Christmas and New Year, but she says already that the book is 'gorgeous' and 'stunning'. All good to know Victoria, thanks.
