Best Books of 2023

9th Jan 2024 in Uncategorised

My goal for 2023 was actually to read fewer books, because I wanted to read slowly and also tackle longer books. In 2022 I read 135 books, and in 2023 I read… 146. So I actually read more.

The thing is, I only like it if they spin off something I haven’t seen…

The Story: ‘Pelt’, first published in Pretext magazine, is the title story of the collection Pelt and Other Stories (Indigo Dreams Publishing, 2013). An Extract: Rolfe triggers it.
