This was a new one for me in 2022, but I do love a good list. These books were not necessarily published this year – in fact Miss Benson’s Beetle was top for three years.
This time it’s The Lost Bookshop which is also one of my favourite books. And Team Olaf’s Mutt Strutt Book for Maggie’s is up there still.
I still don’t really understand why a book I read ages ago suddenly appears at the top, but maybe it’s been in the press, on a TV programme like Between The Covers, or made into a Netflix series.
