My top 9 favorite reads!📚✨

First I am patting myself on the back because I was able to reach most of my reading goal for this year!

I read 14/15 books which is a record for me!

Reading is the one thing that has made me feel like myself again. So this is a big accomplishment!

My top 9 favorite reads in 2024:

1. Kingdom of Ash By Sarah J. Mass

2. Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Mass

3. Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Mass

4. One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig

5. Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig

6. Blood Justice by Terry J. Benton-Walker

7. Immortal Dark by Tigest Girma

8. The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

9. Powerful by Lauren Roberts

A few of my book reviews can be seen on here.

The Throne of Glass series really brought me out of my reading slump and helped me during our military move. I will always have a special place in my heart for the book series.

I can't wait to see what everyone else's reading wrap up will be!

... Read moreReading is not just a hobby; it can be a transformative experience that opens new worlds and ideas. In 2024, I set out to rediscover my love for reading and managed to read 14 out of my goal of 15 books. This personal journey through literature has allowed me to explore various genres, particularly in the fantasy realm. Notably, the 'Throne of Glass' series by Sarah J. Maas has been a significant part of my reading life. It revitalized my passion for books during a challenging time of transition, making it unforgettable. Additionally, each of my top nine selections holds unique significance. 'One Dark Window' by Rachel Gillig is a standout with its compelling story and rich character development. Meanwhile, 'Blood Justice' by Terry J. Benton-Walker offers a thrilling narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seat. As I continue my reading journey, I look forward to sharing insights and connecting with fellow book lovers. Remember to share your favorite reads and join the #readingwrapup and #lemon8bookclub discussions!
