Earl Grey Books

It’s that time of year again when all of us book people realise how little we’ve actually read this year. Yep, it’s time for the opening round of the Goodreads Choice Awards.

I don’t put a lot of stock into these awards. I look at them every year, I usually vote but often I’ll be interested in maybe two categories. But this year I noticed I had quite a few of the nominated books still sitting on my TBR shelf. So the thought here is I’m going to show you the different books I have from the categories I care about, I’ll read as many as I can over the coming weeks and then I’ll talk more once the final round begins on the 17th of November.

There’s quite a few here, so no explanation about them here but you’ll hopefully see me talk about them more in the next few weeks anyway.
