2012 British Books Challenge

I've really enjoyed talking part in the 2011 British Books Challenge hosted by Becky at The Bookette.  As a British blogger I think it's important to support home grown talent and that's something I want to focus on even more in 2012.  I'd like to say a massive thanks to Becky for starting the challenge this year and also to Kirsty at The Overflowing Library for taking the baton and continuing the challenge into 2012.

In 2011 I managed to read 58 books by British authors so I'm hoping to read at least 50 books for next years challenge.  You don't have to read that many though so if you'd like to join me you can sign up here.

I will keep a list of books read along with links to my reviews in this post.
