My Year in 2023: a Work of Fiction

I seem to be going all bookish on you at the moment, despite the fact that mine is not a book blog – or an anything else in particular blog, quite frankly. Here is a bit of fun doing the book-blogger rounds, in which participants address themselves to various questions by answering them with a title from among the books they’ve read in 2023. Here’s mine.

In high school I was Homesick.

People might be surprised by Everything the Light Touches.

I will never be Super-Infinite.

My fantasy job is How to Build a Boat. 

At the end of a long day I need a Perfect Little World.

I hate being Down and Out in Paris and London .

I wish I had A Meal in Winter.

My family reunions are So Late in the Day.

At a party you’d find me with  The Secret Barrister.

I’ve never been to Western Lane.

A happy day includes The Mad Woman’s Ball.

Motto I live by: Give unto Others.

On my bucket list is: The Epic City.

In my next life, I want to have Nine Lessons.

You should look at Annabel of AnnaBookBel fame’s list, as it was her idea. And you might like to see how Karen at Bookertalk, Susan at A Life in Books, Cathy at 746 Books answered. Perhaps other bloggers you know have had a go – as you could too.

  2. A fabulous post, now I must go and find my copy of Homesick to read! So late in the day! I’m too busy reading A Horse at Night🤣📚In the Grassling.

    Happy New Year and Happy Reading Margaret, thank you for being one of my most loyal followers, your continued presence and support is much appreciated. 🥰

    1. Oh, you mustn’t start the new year on the back foot! You have among the most interesting suggestions in the book-blogging world. I’m behind in reading them, because they always require full attention. I’ll be on the case later today!

  6. All the best to you, Margaret, in 2024. I was thinking of you over Christmas while I was reading When I Sing, Mountains Dance by Catalan writer Irene Sola. Stunning little book.

  10. Very clever, Margaret. I must have a look at what I read throughout last year and see what I can do; not much I suspect 😀
    A very happy and healthy new year to you and yours!

  15. Had to chuckle about your fantasy job which I read about on a day when roads around here are flooded to the extent someone started canoeing down one of them. So if this is a sign of weather to come with climate change maybe it would be a good idea to get started on your boat after all????
