my favourite books of 2024 🤎 new classics, sweet fantasy & litfic

this is the book that I was in awe of the entire time I was reading it this book rewired my entire brain as I was reading it and so it inevitably became my favorite book of 2024

this is the book that stole my heart with its tenderness and wonder of nature

I initially picked book one up because I wanted to read the Once Upon A Broken Heart Trilogy and i' heard that it was a good idea to read Caravel before picking that series up but I'm so glad that I picked it up because I had a great time it was really romantic and I found myself rooting for all of these characters

book three finale it was my first book that I read officially in 2025 and I think I gave it four stars

this is the book that had me in a choke C and reminded me why I love fantasy so much

this was my favorite graphic novel because it had everything that I was looking for in a cozy fantasy story it actually took me by surprise because I didn't think that I care so much for some vegetables

it's a Japanese contemporary novel all about these different students who are incredibly gifted and talented when it comes to playing the piano they join this competition and it's all about their experiences and their stress of a music competition their love for music and how it connects them all together

this is the book that made me obsess over each character's fate this penultimate book is one that I've placed as my second favorite book of a year

by the end of book two I became so attached to these characters and they all just felt so alive to me as though I could really go and visit Cali Village in Japan and feel at home there I even think I cried at the end of book two

I came across this series earlier this year and I spent so much time in this world I fell in love with Sophie our main character and the well building as well as Fitz and Keith of course.

when I read this book earlier this year during Springtime it was everything that I was looking for the book starts when Rosalind is supposed to be getting married to a Juke that her family would like her to marry although she's not in love with him

this is the book that made me appreciate life I personally really love books that make me reflect on life and reflect on the significance of life and this book definitely did that to me

10,000 stitches was just as Whimsical and cozy and romantic you follow Effie who is a housemaid and Lord Blackthorne who's a fairy and he helps her or offers to help her to win Mr ashbrook's heart

these books made me long to run to the Japanese mountains and rewatch jii movies all over again I don't remember how I came across this series because I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about these books before but I'm really glad that I fell upon them

this is the book that's become one of my alltime favorite Classics this is another classic like The Secret Garden that I'd been putting off for a while

The Secret Garden was one of the Middle grades that I hadn't read yet and I fell in love with it this spring I was determined to pick it up and finish and I had the most wonderful time

this is the book that brought back that magical childhood Nostalgia this kind of surprises me that it made it to the top five books this year cuz I remember feeling a little bit hesitant about it as I was reading it but then by the end of the book I was so hooked and I ended up having the most touching experience

it had the sweetest romances and I love that all the books were written in letter format so it's an epistolary format novel I love these kind of novels because I feel like letters always offer a very intimate window into a character
