30. Bill Bryson & Sue Townsend prominent among them.
But the one that really struck home when I saw it: "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman". It's been years since I read it, but I find redemption such a powerful theme in a book, and I recall how deeply moved I was by Eleanor's plight, and how glad I was for her as she began to build some kind of life for herself.
21 - but 4 of those are the Twilight saga from a trashy teenage phase, so I feel a bit dubious counting them. Not sure I’d read any of these again, bar Wild Swans. The disparity between commercially successful fiction and critically acclaimed fiction illustrated very well!
25! but very much bumped by the fact I'm a huge Bill Bryson fan and was the right generation to read twilight when they first appeared!

I’ve only read 4, half of them by Tim Marshall and one the theory test book… unsure what that says about me
