Year’s Reads in Review – Top Picks for 2024

Better Late Than Never!

Normally, I post this review on December 31st but blogging has gotten away from me in the last year as other priorities in life take hold. I’m not sure where my blogging will take me this year (2025) but I do know that my reading sure improved compared to last year!

Unlike last year, I actually managed to complete my Goodreads Goal! I had returned it to a 75 book total and met that goal in the early fall. Part of the reason for that was that I got Kindle Unlimited and tried my best to wrap up and binge my TBR series. As I discovered last year, I find myself more engaged in series when I read all the books at once so my reads in 2024 were more backlogged series than new releases.

Here are some other stats of my reading year:

  • 14% of books read were standalones
  • 46% of books read were eBooks
  • 52% of books read were audiobooks
  • DNF’d 5 books
  • I only read 1 book that I own
  • I complete my Goodreads Goal (75 books) by reading 99
  • Finished 26 book series (14 of which I started this year)!
  • Average rating: 3.83

As always, I’ve decided to compile a list of my top picks (and not so great) from the various categories that I read this past year. Most categories deal with books that I read this past calendar year (2024) rather than their publication year. Click on the cover to read my review of the book/series–if available! Lots of these won’t have reviews until early next year.

Without further ado:
