Favorite Books of 2024 So Far

Since we're officially more than halfway done with the year, I wanted to share my favorite books that I've read this year so far.

I have no scoring or rubric; they're just my favorites of what I've read - typically, they're the ones that have stuck with me or impacted me the most. And of course, I reserve the right to make changes by the time December rolls around!

I had a really great month of reading in June. I love being able to sit outside in the beautiful weather and read on the patio, and I feel like I've also really gotten into audiobooks more than I ever thought I would be, too. I don't struggle to follow a story in an audio format anymore, which really helps me read a lot more each month. Especially this month, when I went through all the Bridgerton books quickly, one after another! But I didn't just read the Bridgerton books - I had a mix of romance and litfic, with a little bit of magical realism, too. Here's everything I read in June.

I had a really great month of reading! March was not super busy for me outside of work, so I had even more time than usual to read. Not only did I read a lot, but I really enjoyed everything I read, too. I also read a really nice mix of genres - some fantasy / scifi, some litfic, some rom coms, and a memoir. Here's what I read in March.

January ended up being a great month for reading for me! I got in a decent amount of reading time, plus audiobook time too, and really loved what I read, too.

This is one of my favorite posts to write! I have loved reading for as long as I can remember, and writing my monthly book posts helps me better track what I read. When I pick my favorite books for the year, I go through those posts and think about which books has really stuck with me since I read them. To me, that's what makes a book one of the best! These aren't in order of favorites, just in the order I read them throughout the year - starting in January and ending in December. Here are my favorites books that I read last year.
