2024 was a great year for reading for me. I read 259 different books and a handful of rereads of some of my favorite books of all time. We read 12 different books in Book Club and I cannot wait to see what good books we discover in 2025.
And because I make my own rules around here, my list wasn’t limited to only 10 because I simply cannot choose and after I was 99% done with this post I added two more to the list – because I finished out the year with two AMAZING audio books… and again, I make my own rules.
In no particular order, here are my favorite books of 2024…
