When Goodreads asked me to set my reading goal for 2024, I said 24 books. My logic was this: that’s two books per month, and I thought that would be an aggressive number since I have a busy job, I have a lot of activities in the community, and I'm a soccer mom. So...imagine my surprise when I got to the end of the year and saw that I had actually read 35 books in 2024! Now this total also includes some that are work-related, but still! Since I am often asked for book recommendations, I thought I’d compile a list of some of my favorites from 2024 for you. I’ve loosely grouped them by genre. I hope you enjoy them too, and that your nightstand reading pile is soon Fully Booked!
