I run a feature towards the end of the year where I invite book bloggers, bookstagrammers and published authors to choose three must-read books published that year. The feature started in 2017 and I plan on running it again in 2022, starting on 1st November with regular posts all the way through to the end of the month.

If you would like to participate in 2022, please complete the following form:

These lovely folk took part in the feature in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 (I need to add the posts from 2021 ASAP!):
