The New Year is just around the corner, and I love to review the books I have read during the year: my favourites, the ones I would recommend, and the titles that shined during a difficult time.

Not to be outdone, I too have written an end of year message. It is not asking for money or renewal of membership (money) or for a donation (of money). So, it is different from 99% of end of year messages you will (not) read this week.
