My 2024 year in reading

I'm so proud of myself! I reached my goal of reading 50 books in 2024!

My top favorite of 2024: 
Medusa's Sisters by Lauren J.A. Bear 
Other standouts: 
The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman
Lone Women by Victor LaValle
The Reddening by Adam Nevill. 

It's really hard for me to narrow it down because I really loved (or at least liked) everything I read.

I did fairly well on reading challenges this year.
