2024 Year in Review

Every year, I write a post on Facebook on January 1st to look back on my yearly reads.  I check stats, list my favorites, and then tag the friends who request it.  Once again, I'm adding it here for myself.

This year I read 121 books.  I set my goal as 100, but kind of hoped for 120 meaning 10/month and I did get that right under the wire. This meant over 47,000 pages and averaging 390 pages per book. I was hoping for about 400 on average, so that's not too far off. Twenty-two were ARCs or book tours, and just one was an audio book this year. Said audiobook was actually completed on the way to the ski trip I am currently on.

So what were my favorite reads?  In no particular order but calendar:

  • The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
  • The Other Princess by Denny S. Bryce
  • The Women by Kristin Hannah
  • Surviving Savannah by Patti Callahan
  • The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown
  • The Sunflower House by Adriana Allegri
  • The Librarian Spy by Madeline Martin
  • Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly
  • Daughter of the Reich by Louise Fein
  • American Duchess by Karen Harper
  • Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
  • The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe
  • Looking for Jane by Heather Marshall
  • The Library of Lost Dollhouses by Elise Hooper
