Books finished in 2024

Catching up with this list another month on. I have nearly finished another book, but am posting this belatedly to mark the end of April ish. I am relieved to have just finished book 8 of The Wheel of Time. A book which very much deserves the descriptive word "slog". And that was with me skimming much of it. But I am still enjoying the series too much to stop. Just 6 books to go ... Conversely the text games book was an absolute highlight of my reading in recent years. Even if I did take quite a long time to read through it. It was very much worth the time.
