![]() ![]() I probably won’t nominate until late December because I want to finish up some other books on my TBR first so this list isn’t final, but it sounds fun to me so I’m doing it anyway. ![]() Then, because the Goodreads list was so contemporary heavy and is the main subgenre I read, I’m going to provide you with my list of books I’m nominating (as of right now) for The Swoon Awards. So, first, I’m going to talk specifically about what I’ve read and enjoyed from the Goodreads nominees, then what I still want to read, and what I’m not really interested in (and why). And therefore, I’m still sharing my thoughts. Do I still have opinions about it that are at least somewhat informed by an overall understanding of what’s come out this year? I think so. Have I read all of the ones listed for the Goodreads Award? Also no. Have I read every romance book that was released this year? Absolutely not. ![]() I’ve read 102 romance novels of other sub-genres this year, a good many of which were also 2021 releases. I’ve read 100 contemporary romance books this year, of which 53 were published this year. Should I really add my two cents to all the discourse about the Goodreads Choice Awards? Probably not. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book is told with raw honesty, it could have done without the bad language smattered throughout, as that made it a bit tough reading for me and I had to persist. ![]() When you try to use the complaints procedures, or as in this case grievance or whistleblowing procedures, the system turns against you and tries to paint you as character deficient, or a serial complainer. However, that doesn't detract from the detailed account, which will leave you enlightened and jaded as to what's really going on in bodies such as the NHS, where patient care and excellence seem to be bottom of the list. ![]() The book itself is on the long side and could have done with somewhat less words to tell the same story, it also needs editing for a few grammatical errors and misspellings. It was like deja vu reading so much of it, because of the experiences I have been through myself. This corruption runs through regulatory bodies, establishments, ombudsmen, the NHS and a wide variety of public bodies and Government departments. This book is one more confirmation of a corrupt system of officialdom within the UK. ![]() |
