Mel and Dave, I wasn't even aware of this list until seeing your post so thank you for bringing it to my attention.
I have not read any books on this year's list. This doesn't surprise me as I rarely read books in the year they are released. I did find a bunch to add to my TBR though so that is nice.
Plan to read more this coming year. I've gotten rather gobsmacked by reading so many Substacks (so much interesting stuff on this platform) that I've neglected my personal reading, which I adore. Sooo-- I already started, and am setting aside more time to read, my passion. Have a Happy New Year guys!
