Hello everyone and welcome to one of my favourite challenges – The British Books Challenge which I have been participating in for quite some time now. This year it continues to be hosted by the lovely Michelle over at Tales of Yesterday – to find out more information and to sign up yourself please visit her page HERE.
The British Books Challenge is about supporting the work of British authors and the aim is to read twelve books a year (one a month). I’ve had great success with this in the past and I’m hoping to have another brilliant year reading fiction/non-fiction from our talented British authors. Please see below for my reviews of any British Books I have read so far, which I will continue to update as and when I finish them.
