A Year in Books – Quarter One 2022

It’s that time if year again, where I start to look back over all of the titles I’ve read in 2022. I’ve had another fabulous reading year and while I’ve read nowhere near as many books in the latter parts of the year as I may have in the past, I like to think that it’s very much quality over quantity. I’ve many more books I’d like to read from this year (and earlier) that I’ll carry over into 2023, so here’s hoping the gods of reading are kind to me and I have both energy and time.

So … What did I read in quarter one – well here we go.
