What a reading year I've had! I can't believe I read 87 books in 2024! Choosing to read for an hour before bed instead of watching TV has been easier on my nervous system and reduced my sensory symptoms. I gave 15 books 5⭐️ By diversifying my reading I 1discovered new favourite authors and genres!
A summary of my reading in 2024. The first book I read was Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle and the last book I read was Apple and Knife by Intan Paramaditha. The longest book I read in 2024 was A Day of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon and the shortest book was Why Money Matters by Deborah Meaden in total. I read 87 books covering 28064 pages. The top genres were mystery, thriller, literary, fantasy and LGBTQIA+, my top authors were Saraa el-arifi, Eliza Clark, and Pascale Lacelle. Some of my five-star reads were Curious Tides, Tender is the Flesh, and Homegoing
