ANOTHER year in which Covid is still with us. Another year which will (hopefully) bring some great new books and reading opportunities. I've been writing book reviews for the online site Bookmunch for about ten years now, with a wee break in between, while doing my MLitt. You can find the links to the ones I wrote in previous years here: 2019, 2020, 2021.
Wishing all my fellow readers and book lovers a sumptuous 2022 of happy reading, May it bring welcome respite from the miserable daily news on our various media channels.
