I took some much needed time to myself over the holidays. I enjoyed some crafting. I spent a ton of time with my kids. I watched a LOT of holiday baking shows. And I got some new jammies. Now I’m feeling refreshed and ready to tackle a new year of books. Starting with a review for Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman. That will be posted over the weekend.

For today, let’s take a look at what 2024 brought me. Courtesy of Goodreads 2024 Year in Books.

It’s hard to believe I read 40 books last year. Though technically, in half a year because I didn’t get started until the summer.

It’s funny that Goblet of Fire shows as 17 pushed but the longest book. It’s probably because I reviewed the audiobook, so it counts chapters only.

Nothing earth shattering here. People still love Harry Potter, and the other is a niche book by a new author.

It’s not a bad average. I rate 3 stars as being a “pretty good but not great” book. Which describes most books, so I think this makes completely sense.
