In 2024 I read more books than ever, a total of 122! I’ve started reading more paper books solely because I can only have 10 holds from the library for my Kindle at any one time, which is very limiting to me. This year I’ve made some reading self-discoveries. For example, hockey romances are SPICY and I am here for them. Also, I’m drawn to the very specific trope of a single father with a child who has an illness/disability – weird. I can’t wait to see what amazing books 2025 has to offer. Here (in no particular order) are my top 12 reads of 2024.

Wow, did I read a wide variety of books this month. Which means there should be something for everyone! If you don’t spot something on this page that catches your eye take a look at previous months’ book reviews and recommendations. Also, check out my “Book Picks” highlight on my Instagram page for all of my ratings from this year.

September felt like a mediocre reading month. I had high expectations for a number of the books that just fell flat. I do have a four-star review below that I think you should consider but I hope October raises the bar.

I guess it was the month of romance books but my absolute favorite read of the month isn’t even included in the reviews below. To see all the books I read this month plus my top choice head to my “Book Picks” highlight on my Instagram profile.

Summer is going fast as always! Have you been fitting in some summer reading? I sure hope so. If not, take the time to read the book reviews below from a few of my July reads to see if there is a book that sounds good to you. Don’t let summer pass you by without selecting an excellent book and scheduling a beach day for the ultimate pleasure reading scenario.
