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💖📚⬇️

The Big Man 🏴 & I had a lovely lunch out & then popped into M&S for a few things.
After that a frothy coffee & part of a lemon meringue cheesecake, my mother got confused & ate my cake (having said she didn’t want anything 😆😱😱😱) #DementiaJoy 😱
