A year of reading

2024/12/12 Edited to

... Read moreAs the year comes to a close, reflecting on your reading journey can be inspiring. Reading 204 books and covering 56,835 pages is an incredible accomplishment that showcases dedication and passion. With an average of three days to complete each book, the variety of moods—from lighthearted to dark and tense—demonstrates the versatility of literature. Whether you dive into adventurous tales or philosophical reflections, each page adds to your experience. To maximize your reading journey, consider joining online book clubs, participating in reading challenges, and exploring different genres to expand your horizons. Use platforms like Lemon8 or Goodreads to connect with fellow book lovers and share your discoveries. Remember, reading isn’t just about numbers; it’s about the stories that resonate with you, the emotions they evoke, and the knowledge they impart. So, what will your reading goals be for the next year? Let's inspire each other!

The book "Garlic and Sapphires" by Ruth Reichl is displayed on a green corduroy chair, accompanied by the text "my favorite food memoir!" for whimsical food writing.
more essential reading before the year is over!
if you didn’t find something in part 1 of these series (sounds impossible but okay!!) here are even more unmissable nonfiction books to end the year with. In this selection you can find gripping true crime, whimsy food writing and celebrity essays you definitely don’t want to miss. This is my favor
