My 2024 Reading Wrapped!!
I did a TON of reading this year compared to any other year in my entire life lol.
If you’ve followed me for a bit now, you probably know I can’t shut up about my top two books.
My top one… SURPRISINGLY… is MP: Into the Dark by Jessa Hastings. I liked the first couple of books in the series (aka I fell in love with Jessa’s writing) but I didn’t expect any of them to be in the top 5, much less my favorite book of the year. I still think about these characters all the time and the way this book brought so many things full circle. I cried and cried. It was so good.
And of course, the second series I can’t shut up about… the Once Upon a Broken Heart Series. The Ballad of Never After is my second favorite book of the year (if you’ve read it, you know why) but if you haven’t, I will tell you right now that this fantasy series made me laugh, cry, gasp, blush, and so much more. It’s got all you need. I just…. Cant put into words how much I love it.
And the last slide is just some fun awards I gave out hahaha.
What were yalls top reads of the year? Have you read any of my top reads?
