I read 208 books this past year while dealing with the Big Man’s cancer treatments, my mother’s decline & my own crippling arthritis.
My reading has been simply to bring me joy - hence the dominance of Crime & Romantasy.
Here are 24 of my favourite books of 2024💖📚
I hope you enjoy them💖📚⬇️

Earlier today, I finished #Water Moon 🌙 by the immensely imaginative & talented #SamanthaSottoYambao
This is a magnificent, mysterious & magical read, that I completely fell in love with & I hope you do too. If this book isn’t on your shelf or TBL, then it needs to be😀💜📚⬇️

Today has extremely busy & very chilly 🥶 & the temperature is dropping again now to -5* 🥶.
I have only been back at work 4 days but it felt like 16 weeks😱😆.
On the plus side, my daffodils 🌼 have started to open & a new book arrived - oops😆📚⬇️

An utterly compelling fictional imagining of 3 iconic women destined to become famous names, this book is a fantastic read with full on echoes of Taylor Jenkins Reid... Full review: #booksky

Sharing my review for After The Storm by @gdwrightwrites.bsky.social today. This is an excellent, but heart-wrenching read that I couldn’t put down. The storyline could be upsetting for some so check out the content warnings if necessary.

Let me know if this one is going on your TBR list! #BookSky

Every year, I buy myself a really nice present, some frippery I’ve wanted but couldn’t justify otherwise. It’s my reward for being me, given with love and gratitude, accepted with humility and thanks. Try it ❤️
