I finished Confusion and there was a bit of it. There were sections in which you really had to work to figure out who was the main feature character. I’m going to make it my mission to finish off the Cazalets but I’m going to take a book or two’s break from them.

I've finished my 52 with a final PG Wodehouse. It's a reread but who cares!

Can we have suggestions for next year's book thread please? I am quite particular about it and do not like, for example, Books 2023. Or anything too twee. No alliteration either.

My suggestions are Bookends; Reading Habits; or The Turtle Mock Book Club (seeing as we don’t read the same ones).

But the club is mock, not the books, and the title suggests that the books are mock.

English is my only language :humble:.

:lol:

How about just omitting the Mock? Or is that too unclear? My suggestions: Turtles That Read, the Reading Turtle, Turtle Literacy, the Well Read Turtle. And then just add 2023.

I quite like the Well Read Turtle.

I might do a poll.

I love how we are all categorically ignoring Bean's "no 2023" instruction!
