Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl where a theme is set for us each week to write about in any way we want. This week is books I meant to read in 2023. How long have you got? I have a large TBR pile that I just never seem to get through so here are some that I meant to read.

• Testament by Kim Sherwood – Eva is close to her Grandfather but the finds a letter from the Jewish Museum in Berlin and realises that he has a lot of secrets. Why haven’t I read this one?
• My Name is Yip by Paddy Crewe – A coming-of-age story that reads a bit like a western, I’ve read the first few pages. It will take quite a bit of reading as it seemed very dense so I need to be in the mood.
• Otherlands by Thomas Halliday – I don’t read masses of non-fiction but this is right up my street. I had forgotten that I owned this one.
• One Small Voice by Santanu Bhattacharya – I bought this because it looked interesting at the Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival. So interesting that I haven’t read it yet!
• Mother’s Boy by Patrick Gale – This is a novel but one that tells the tale of the poet Charles Causley’s life set in Launceston. I love Causley’s poetry and I live reasonably near Launceston. What’s not to like?
• Cuddy by Benjamin Myers – a retelling of the story of the hermit St Cuthbert. I really, really don’t know why I bought this one. Maybe this will be the first of this list that I read.

Any of these you can recommend that I start with?
