My top 5 reads of 2024 ✨📚

Bride and The Dixon Rule have some of the best banter I’ve ever read. They’re my go-to recommendations for people who love wit and sarcasm with their romance.

Quicksilver and One Dark Window are fantasies. The magic system in One Dark Window still blows my mind.

The Seven Year Slip is a more serious romance. It focuses a lot on grief and the passing of time— lots of beautiful quotes!

This year I have read over 50 books. I have always been a huge lover of reading, but when my mental health started declining so did the reading. I stopped reading for a year or so. I started getting back into reading in March and have read so many good books that it was difficult to pick. #reading
