Lisa Tuttle - Riding the Nightmare (2023). Last book of the year read, and it was amazing. 223 pages and I read it through within a 25 hour period. A short story collection, 12 tales, pretty much all dealt with sex and or death, and were all unsettling in one way or another. Highly recommended.
All in all I read 59 books this year, 36 which were first reads. That’s one more than I read all together last year, so I am happy to be again a real reader. I still think that for next year I will set myself the same reading challenge as this year, one book a week, 52 in total. Don’t want to make my hobby seem like work.
