Okay, I am reading two books that are fictions of actual people, just wondering if they are going to fit:Me Cheeta: The Autobiography, which works for film, and which I missed last season (but actually wouldn't have worked), and whilst the subtitle is "The Autobiography" it obviously isn't ...
And Euphoria, a fictional first person narrative of Sylvia Plath.
Oh, and I have just joined an in person book club. I don’t do anything social, it’s all work and family, so this seemed like a good idea. First Friday of each month, a glass of bubbly and a chat, I think I can do that! 😁
I have 6 tasks to completely finish, have 2 books on the go toward that, and two others just because. Should completely finish this month, and then February will all just be the cream on top 😉It’s putting me ahead for my goals for the year, that’s for sure, except for 1001 books, so that will be my Feb focus.

I heard my husband outside watching the fireworks at 12, but I had gone to bed to read for a bit at 10.30 after drinking a bit over half the bottle of bubbles and watching Knives Out and eating pizza Hope everyone has enjoyed the New Year in the way that suits them best, and let’s hope 2023 is better than the last few years!
