I’ve read 78 Kindle samples this year – I reckon that downloading sample chapters is more prudent than impulse buying books that don’t quite pan out after the first few chapters.
Of the 78 I’ve read, I’ve said ‘yes’ to 36. Of those that I’ve said yes to, two I now own and a further three I’ve read.

I did the same review in 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016. I still haven’t read all of the books on those lists but I’m chipping away…
