Delightful! I think that one goes through phases of going back to old favorites, whether a favorite writer's new books or one's favorites among the older ones. Maybe all that is needed right now is a particularly beautiful new notebook for when the old one is full 😊. Or to start a new phase of not keeping track at all…
I don’t think I could stop keeping track! Looking back through the notebook is like stepping back into my past, I can often remember where I read the book or where I got it from, even though all it has is a year and then a list of titles and authors. Beautiful new notebook it is then :-)
I love so many of the authors you mention here, especially Trollope, whom I discovered recently and to whom I feel a keen although nascent loyalty. The guy wrote 47 novels, many of them 700-pagers, and has generated a pile of criticism & biographies. I could happily stuff my brain with Trollope for a year and then some, but what about all the other books?
This is precisely my problem :-) In fact I'm reading my 2nd or 3rd Trollope of this year (Castle Richmond) and I have another on my To Read shelf but I have a couple of hefty sci-fi novels and a JB Priestley on there too and there's not much of the year left!

That sounds lovely.
