I read 87 books last year...here are the ones you should pick up

I listen to this the audiobook narrator is great I think it adds a good Dimension to this novel

those scenes those scenes in the book can't tell you what they are don't want to tell you what they are would recommend you not go find out what they are but I want to dunk my eyes in bleach

this is one of my favorite books of all time this is an Emma classic if you will this is a five star

I just thought the writing was so gorgeous and I flew through it and I was very addicted

this was just really boring this was really boring I wanted to like this book there was so many things I found Charming about this book but ultimately it was so repetitive

this one ended up in my worst books of the year did not enjoy this did not enjoy this and every time I picked it up I was like here we go again

as you can imagine this featured the Four Seasons and winter was a main character I didn't like this was weird

Alias Emma ended up on my worst books of the Year video and it really turned me off reading by Thrillers or spy novels for a long while

this one ended up on my worst books possibly the worst book I've read all year this is a thriller and it's so not good

again I would have liked this so much more I think if it was written for like adults and not as a ya book

beown was one of them was not a new favorite book for me but it just had that effect that I just kept wanting to read and turn the pages

this was probably the least popular book of the World Tour book club that we read this year a lot of people did not enjoy this I am one of those people

this made it on to my best books of the Year this is by Kate black I thought this was great

this really opened my eyes to a lot of things this was a hard read this was a hard read

this was interesting this was cute because this takes different myths and legends about like different plants and it arranges them into the different seasons

Butcher and Blackbird by Brinn Weaver which was like about two rivals serial killers but it would just was not

this one I think could have been good this is a middle grade but it was so all over the place

this is also possibly my worst book of the year

I don't know how useful this was for me because a lot of this is from the perspective of someone like living in the US so things are obviously different here but I still found that this was good to like introduce different like topics and just teach you different like simple definitions

this is a little like thought piece I guess it's really a satire on consumption and like consumerism

upon reread of Coraline I actually enjoyed it less this time around which is a little bit heartbreaking because I thought I really love this book

I have never loved reading like I have loved reading when I was reading The Count of Monte Cristo

honestly there's a lot of exercises in this book that are I think good would I recommend this no because this is just straight up a textbook I think I could have found something better

I want to be out in the wilderness taking field notes studying Fay or whatever it may be and I want an academic rival

which surprised me upset me again I think this one just felt a little bit too emotionally forced

I really like this I thought there was a lot to like about this book including the romance but I thought the plot like the main plot this one had a lot more to offer than just the romance

again really sweet but where I've heard like so many people being like Oh my God I love this book to bits and pieces I cried my eyes out I'm like where I couldn't I didn't feel it

again one of my favorite books of the Year this one was 10 different stories within one novel and it did I think so much experimentation that it was very interesting

I read an interview with the Vampire couple years ago now gave up five stars fell in love

I didn't love this book on the whole but I really didn't like I didn't like it I was just like I would rather read Charles dickins or Jane Austin

so fun so fun this is my first jiito I'd never read him before and I want to read more of him in 2025

this is my first winteron that I had read in a while and I really love her writing style I want to find more people that write like her

each chapter would start with a recipe and then for the rest of the chapter we would like learn how to make that recipe and the style of cooking the method however they were preparing this dish had something really profound and intimate to do with what was going on in the plot and I thought that was so cool

I surprisingly enjoyed myself with again very addictive I think if you're in a reading slump this might be the one for you

I honestly really like this book on the whole okay I really do like this book but some sections trying to read Middle March I'm that little bear on the tea box

this one was a spooky murder mystery it was well written it was actually solvable and it was so atmospheric and like actually kind of spooky

this one ended up in my best books of the year and again flew through it flew through it

this one could be in the reading slump Cure All Because I read this like nobody's business but I was just so upset with it I think this isn't truly the best category for this because I think this is just not a good book

I think the audio book was really well done and this one hooked me I think the audio book really sucked me in

I just cannot stand another conversation in a partner room where we don't say anything where no one's actually talking about what they mean because they can't because it's not allowed because it's not correct to say certain things or say how you feel or show certain emotions I was just so over it

I love this I love this so much this was actually the first or the second book that I read in 20124 adored this adored this I want to own this book

I didn't like by Pam Godwin I didn't necessarily roll my eyes at this but I was just like I don't think this was badly written

I honestly found senin ascends like kind of intriguing and I liked it but I would have liked this so much more if it was just like high fantasy

I don't like that much coziness in my murder first of all that's just so weird I think cozy Mysteries ultimately are not for me I think they are a little bit of a snoozefest

I don't know I'm like why do you have to draw her this way when she's just lounging at home with her cats like you don't have to you don't have to do it

this is one of the sweetest books I've read this year this is all about Community and love and friendship

I read slaughterhouse 5 in one sitting I read slaughterhouse 5 in one sitting

I read the first four volumes in 2024 I fell in love with this I went through a pretty heavy spy family phase in the spring loved it to pieces I think it's hilarious I think it's incredibly Charming

really like this and for me it's a lot harder for an Audi book to make me want to keep listening

I like these okay I like these books but I couldn't like them anymore because I just thought they were a little too mushy

did not like this as much as Chloe and I just was not into their relationship

each perspective the woman and the man like their perspectives are voiced by different voice actors and I just liked it

they're all in University and they're all obsessed with like Murder Mysteries and they all join a murder mystery Club at University and they all like get together and they're super passionate about their interest and they share it and I think it's cool

I read Fellowship of the Ring many years ago and upon reread it was just even so much better I enjoyed it so much more it was incredible so five stars all around

I literally don't know what to say it's not like oh I want to say something well I do you know I always want to sound profound and smart who doesn't want to sound profound and smart but these ones I'm just like I literally like when I think about these books

Halloween tree by Ray Bradbury was just like a breath of fresh air and love and life and so much that I didn't even know that I needed so good one of the best Middle grades I've ever read in my life

again I think if I was a lot younger I really would have enjoyed this because I'm not anymore I didn't this is supposed to be like a Knives Out ya situation I thought it was dumb

this was just great this was so great this was my first Zola and again I want more of him in 2025 I think his descriptions were so good

this also made it on to my best books of the year really like this I thought this was pretty unique

this was my favorite book from last year and this was like this is everything I love about reading this made me want to read every single thing

this is just a collection of two short stories this is like a retelling I think of two Inuit stories so yeah really liked it

this was an excellent novel this one we read for the world tour book club for Albania and I did like the novel

I read Fellowship Two Towers Return of the King so good five stars to each book

love this love this a lot another favorite non-fiction I read

it's cute and she has a familiar talking spider plant and there's also cats who fly

really like this in audio I think it was fun I think it was really sweet this is so great this is a murder mystery set at like a retirement SL nursing home loved it loved it so much

I read Fellowship Two Towers Return of the King so good five stars to each book

I read the vampire lat this Halloween didn't like it as much as Interview with a Vampire but I still really enjoyed it

this is my favorite romance that I read all year I read this in December so good so good

the audiobook Nar for this one like gave it her all big shout out to her big shout out to her she did wonderful things

this one did make it onto my best books of all time of 2024 really enjoyed this

everything in this book is based off of ideas and based off of a value system makes you feel like such an outsider it makes you feel like is this what the world is all about and it makes you just really angry

I got to it and I was just so not engaged with it something about it and the characters and the way that it was written just did not work for me

I didn't like this one as much as the first book unfortunately this is a Trilogy so now I just have to read the third book and then we'll be done

again ended up on one of my worst books of the year did not like this romance

this one plays a lot on The rhythms of jazz and like uses Jazz and the call and response to inform and like influence its narrative very cool

Twisted games one of my worst books of the year
