Dear friends. I'm taking on four book challenges in 2026. This is a step up because I've only ever taken one reading goal, for Goodreads, in the past.
In 2025 my Goodreads goal was 110 books, up by ten, and I managed to finally achieve it in the third week of December. I'll stick to the same target, 110, for 2026. I don't have any additional reading time so it would be pointless to set a tougher goal.
Dear friends. Welcome to my round-up of books read in December. The two 5-star reads are both a little harrowing and have a theme in common - religion - but they are exceptional reads. If you'd prefer a lighter and more traditional read for this time of year, you will enjoy Christmas in Flanders Fields, although it doesn't shy away from the realities of war.

Dear friends. Have you ever remarked how days seem to race by? That when we were young, summer seemed to go on forever?
Part of it, as we get older, is becoming aware that we have less time ahead of us. But it's also the brain's way of telling us it needs more stimulation.
Dear friends. Today we're exploring the UK in a head turning vehicle known as The Beast. At the wheel is either Jacqueline Lambert or her husband Mark.
It wasn't quite what they had in mind, a road trip to Mongolia, but their original plans were derailed by Covid 19.
As this charming and entertaining book recalls, they had plenty of adventures closer to home.
