The 56 books I read (& loved) in 2024
I read some really great books this year. I leaned heavily into my love of thrillers and mysteries but also read a couple great nonfiction books (parenting, poetry, history, memoirs, and more). Below is the full list of books I read (and recommend!) this year (divided into fiction and nonfiction), with personal notes on why each one stood out to me.
At the end, I’ll share my favorite book of 2024. I hope this list inspires your next great read AND that you’ll share your favorite reads of the year in the comments. I’m already making my TBR pile for 2025. Before we dive in, both Amazon and Target are currently offering BOGO 50% off on many books! It’s a great time to stock up for the Christmas break!
Plus, a Christmas special offer for new subscribers. I am so excited about what’s coming to this space in 2025. We’d love for you to join us here. Now, without further ado… everything I read in 2024.
