2024 Reading Wrap Up!

I’ve still got a few more books to go this year, but for right now, these are my top 9 out of 95 books read this year!

I think that Slewfoot was my number one read this year. It hit the sweet spot in fantasy, horror, and folklore/mythology. It was everything I hoped it would be and more. Buuuuut we’ll talk more about that later.

I’ve got a couple of amazing indie authors up there (KK Allen writes New Adult romance and romantic suspense, Riley Hunt & LS Embers write fantasy/romantasy) that I’ll always recommend.

The House of Hollow was a reread for me, but I love it for its gnarly dark folklore and the mystery of the three sisters.

2024/12/10 Edited to

As we look back on 2024, the literary landscape has been vibrant and filled with gems. 'Slewfoot' by Brom stands out with its unique blend of folklore and horror. Its engaging narrative captivates readers who appreciate deep, atmospheric storytelling. In terms of indie authors, KK Allen shines in the realm of New Adult romance, delivering compelling characters and emotional depth. If you prefer something more mystical, Riley Hunt and LS Embers offer captivating tales that merge fantasy with romance, perfect for readers seeking adventure and love. Additionally, 'The House of Hollow' by Krystal Sutherland presents a gripping mystery surrounding three sisters intertwined with dark folklore, making it a perfect reread that keeps you engrossed. The combination of these recommendations ensures a diverse reading experience, enriching both the heart and mind. Remember, whether it's chilling tales or heartwarming narratives, the world of books has something for everyone!
