Hello Alexandra, glad you're joining in again and again :) I think I personally view goals as guidelines, I wouldn't want it to become a chore! I think someone else has mentioned Lillian Beckwith, I might give her work a go :)

Well I am feeling mightly chuffed with myself today. I have already finished my first Scottish book of the year and we are just on week 1! Finished The Diary of a Bookseller by Shaun Bythell who owns The Bookshop in Wigtown. I really funny easy read and has put me off every contemplating owning a second hand bookshop... the reality is very different to the fantasy of it all. Off to a good start..

Good to hear this is an enjoyable read as it's on my TBR pile for this year. Looking forward to starting it now.

My second Scottish book complete for the year.... The Way of All Flesh by Ambrose Parry (Ambrose Parry is a pseudonym for a collaboration between Chris Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman who are partners) .... set in Victorian era Edinburgh, so a historical fiction book about medicine, doctors, death, murder and deceit...
I read this on the recommendation of a blogger I follow and have to say it was really enjoyable and the pace was great.. kept up a brisk gallop most of the time.

I just finished The way of all Flesh too ;)
