Judging by how I did last year, I haven't a hope of getting anywhere close to 50 books, but I'm going to try anyway!

1: Carte Blanche by Jeffrey Deaver.

Been big into James Bond recently & this is a new 007 novel. I like Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme books so gave it a bash. And was pleasantly surprised to find half of it set in my neck of the woods, South Africa. An entertaining enough read.
