🖤🌸My Year In Books🌸🖤

2024/12/20 Edited to

... Read moreIn 2024, my reading journey led me through a diverse selection of literature, from haunting debuts like those by Gillian Flynn and Katrina Leno to captivating tales of love and resilience. I read a total of 12 books and generated a total of 4,615 pages, each one contributing to my growth as a reader and a writer. From fantasy to contemporary fiction, each book offered unique perspectives and compelling narratives. I particularly enjoyed works by authors such as Stephanie Garber and Krysten Ritter, whose stories evoked strong emotions and unforgettable characters. This year, I embraced my annual reading goals, focusing not only on the quantity of books read but also on the quality of the literary experiences. Engaging with the #yearofbooks and #yearlyreadinggoals communities has been incredibly rewarding, as it provided a shared space of encouragement and inspiration. I look forward to even more literary adventures in the coming year!

Other Books I’ve read this past year
Fledgling by Octavia Butler ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anything Butler writes is smart and compelling. This book wasn’t my favorite from her but it was still really good and kept me on the edge of my seat. If you like creepy vampire cults this might be the novel for you. Cities of the Plain by Cormac McCarthy

The last time I read an entire book was during the pandemic quarantine and that book was Animal Farm. I’ve been longing to read more books but just never seemed to be able to keep my interest. I’ve started reading self-help books and I’ve noticed that these kinds of books are the ones that keep me
