It’s Boxing Day, and to cheer up your post-Christmas Day lethargy, I’m going to start this off on its rounds again…
I’ve done different versions of this in 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2016, 2011 and 2009. The questions vary sometimes, but I’m staying with last year’s set. Where it originally came from is lost in the mists of time.
Using only books you have read this year (2024), answer these prompts. Try not to repeat a book title. (Links in the titles will take you to my reviews.)

- People might be surprised by The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey
- I will never be Karla’s Choice by Nick Harkaway
- My fantasy job is The Librarianist by Patrick Dewitt
- At the end of a long day I need Nothing Special by Nicole Flattery
- I hate being Prey by Vanda Symon

What fun! Feel free to have a go too.
I’m always delighted to see this meme pop up. Thanks for starting it off again, Annabel. My favourite job was The Librarianist last year!
Excellently apt, Annabel! If I can put my mind to it I might give this a go – in between walks, eating Christmas leftovers, seeing family, catching up on outstanding reviews … Anyway, hope your Christmas was all you hoped for! 😊
That’s such a good one! I feel like my list would make it hard? Ahah idk- not gonna attempt 🙈
Just did mine though it was a lot more predictable than your inspired answers
