I love being immersed in a story although reading physical books are a bit of a challenge for me with a sight problem, so I have alternatives. During 2023 I read 117 audio books, 20 kindle books, and a number of books on BBC Sounds. Alongside my favourites: Stephen King, James Herbert, Dean Koontz, Harlan Coben, Ray Bradbury, HG Wells, Boris Bacic and Dan Jones, I have discovered some great authors new to me which include : Jonathan Maberry (Joe Ledger), David Haynes (Survive), Flint Maxwell (The Snow), John Gaspard (adventures of a magician), Frank Schatzing (The Swarm), Steve Alten (The Meg), Michael Cole (Thresher & creature features!), Jorge Sanchez (Daybreak), Rich Restucci (Run), Hunter Shea (The Jersey Devil), David Viner (Beyond Between) Mathew Mather (Nomad) and many more - both fiction and historical. Thanks to all those who have entertained me this year.
