Best Books Of 2024

Welcome to my favorite blog post of the year! These are the ten best books I read in 2024.

I seriously debated if I should put ten books on the list. I only read 52 books this year, which makes it my worst reading year in recorded history. I guess I can't complain. I crammed a lot of life into 2024. I think 2025 is going to be the same. Reading is definitely on the back burner. I miss being able to rot in bed and read for hours. Now I fall asleep if I stand still.

Putting 10/52 books on a "Best" list seems too generous for a cold-hearted witch like me. But, it's been a difficult year. Let's be generous. These books are excellent. I recommend all of them.

Here are my favorite books of 2024. I arranged them countdown style for unnecessary drama.

Drumroll please . . .

All I want for Christmas is books! Actually, that's not true. I'm trying really hard to read the books I already own instead of acquiring new ones. However, I do have 4 books on my Christmas wish list. I know I won't get them because my family won't buy me books, but I can dream.

In August 2022, I vowed to control my book-buying impulses and read all the unread books on my shelf. Here are the final 6 books I own. I can finish them all in January if I'm motivated (and stay out of the library).

The Challenges Of Book Blogging & How To Conquer Them

Google keeps shoving its Gemini AI in my face, so I took the bait and asked Gemini for a blog post idea. The robot requested "The Challenges Of Book Blogging." I don't want to upset our robot overlords, but that idea kind of sucks. It sounds too whiny. I'm adding "And How To Conquer Them" to put a more optimistic spin on the robot's request.

I hope the robot forgives me and doesn't murder me in my sleep.

Okay. Why is book blogging hard? Let's talk about it.

It's not the end of the year yet, but we're getting close, which means it's time to do The End Of The Year Book Tag. Hopefully these six questions will help me (and you) organize our reading lives before the year is over. It's time to get our butts in gear and smash our reading goals, people!

If you want to answer these questions on your blog, go for it. Consider yourself tagged. You still have a few weeks before the year is really over!
