And here is my last A to Z post for the year, on some afterthoughts.
I’ve been doing this since 2017 and I never know till just beforehand what my theme is going to be. Every year I have wondered if I even will come up with a theme and then… I come up with something. I always learn something too.
In this case I realised suddenly just how much mystery fiction I have read over the years, even if I’ve only read one book or even one story by each author. I probably even left out a fair few. I confess I looked up lists of mystery writers each day to see if I could find someone with that letter, whom I have read at some stage.
The lists were long, but most of those authors I hadn’t heard of, let alone read. And sometimes it was someone I was familiar with, but hadn’t read in years, or had read, but hadn’t realised wrote mysteries. Yes, I’ve learned again.
It has been nice to rediscover some authors I hadn’t read in a long time, such as Nury Vittachi. I don’t regret choosing this topic.
I really appreciate your comments and enjoyed wandering over to your blogs to see what you’d been writing about. Thank you! You will be having visits from me over the next few days.
I’m glad, too, that some of you had the chance to remember books you’ve read yourselves, or found the ones I mentioned interesting enough to add to your TBR piles.
Thanks again, and happy reading. I’m now heading for bed, to catch up with my own reading.
Cheers and see you soon.
