*On 1 July, I realized I wouldn't be able to read these 20 by 1 September. I'm reading too many books not on this list!
(underline=read; underline & blue=link to my review; strikethrough=dropped 20 to 15)
Good list. I almost put the Ferryman on my list too. Hope you like it. I've read Mothering Sunday which was pretty good. Happy reading
