Books finished in 2024

[vivdunstan]

Checking in with another update re this. A bit ahead of the end of the month, because although I have several books well underway I won't finish any of them before April. I've just finished 2 more books since last time, and have included a cut over the earlier ones. The NHS book was good, but overly long for me, and some of the contributions seriously missed the point, and were far too self centred. It was also sad to read all the earnest thoughts about how much people appreciate the NHS (this book was written in the height of the pandemic), only for many thoughts like that, including government treatment of doctors and nurses etc. (especially in England) to plummet since. I loved the DWJ book, and read it for the book club I'm in.
