1st book finished - Rabbit Hole My first book by Mark Billingham. Overall I enjoyed this book. There was 1 twist that I wasn't expecting. Interesting setting on a psychiatric ward, written in first person from the POV of one of the patients who tries to solve a murder on the ward. 4 stars from me

I'm challenging us, as a group, to read 3500 books in 2023. It's going to be quite easy going to get us started. Only rules are that books must be at least 100 pages (of the edition you are actually reading) and started in 2023.If you join midway through the year, you can include any book you have finished in 2023.
Just post any books you complete with the next number
e.g. I might start with
1: Book 1
2: Book 2
Next person will post
3: Book title
The next person will post:
4: Book title
Any questions, just ask!
*NOTE* Please make sure you're on the list page of posts so that numbers stay in the right order
