My 2024 FIVE star reads!

This year my goal was to read 50 books and I read 55 (so far)! I thought the goal I set would be easy since I read over 150 books in 2023 but this year I was in a BIG reading slump and didn’t read not one book from February through July 😭😭😭

Anyways these books right here *chef’s kiss* 🫶🏾 I am beyond happy with my reading wrap up this year! I discovered new-to-me authors, enjoyed new genres, some authors became my favs (yes, Abby Jimenez and Author Granger lol) and I finished several series!

Did any of these make the cut for your top 2024 reads?!?

As a passionate reader, sharing insights on the best books of the year can inspire others in their literary journeys. My 2024 reading list features exceptional books that have resonated deeply with me, overcoming my earlier slump from February to July. Notable mentions include works by Abby Jimenez and Granger, who have crafted enchanting tales that connect with readers emotionally. This year, exploring diverse genres not only enriched my reading experience but also introduced me to captivating stories that kept me turning pages late into the night. One standout title, "A Love Story for Ricki," captivates with its heartfelt romance, while "Part of Your World" delves into magical realism that offers an escape from everyday life. The highs and lows of each plot reflect relatable emotions of love, friendship, and self-discovery. Additionally, my newfound enthusiasm has led me to engaging book discussions within the Lemon8 community. Utilising hashtags like #Lemon8BookClub and #2024Books fosters an environment where readers exchange thoughts and recommendations, enhancing our collective reading experience. Join in on the conversation and explore these titles that may become your next favorites! Share your insights and let's celebrate our journeys through the literary world together.

ooo outdrawn looks so interesting like not to judge a book by its cover but I’m judging (positively) 😂

I didn’t manage to read the whole Bible in a year (even though I attempted), but I did read all of these amazing books that got me super excited to dive into certain chapters in my Bible. Because of that, I read more of the Bible than I ever have before this year! 1) Get Out Of Your Head by Jenn
