DeleteI read a lot of historical fiction this year, but wrote almost no reviews. Oops! Hopefully, I'll do better in 2025 on that front.
ReplyDeleteOoops! I am about 50% reviews. One of my goals will be to write reviews of all the hist fic I read,, and Aussie authors but that might be a bit much.. We'll see
DeleteI finished 16 so far (will probably finish #17 later this week) but wrote only two or three reviews. I plan to do much better in 2025. . . .
