Books of 2024
Dec. 31st, 2024 09:23 pmI did movies I've seen, so now it's time for books. I'm not going to put the whole list here, but it says I read 41 books that were new to me, plus some novellas - 50 new-to-me things in all. Here's some of what I thought were highlights.
Happy 2025, everybody!
- The first things I read in January were Luanne Rice's Last Night and Last Day, very good thrillers. (The 2nd isn't a direct sequel to the first, but they're connected, as I recall.)
- The last new thing I read was Jenny Colgan's Cafe By the Sea, which I read in one day because I completely couldn't put it down. That woman's books seem to have that effect on me.
- The very last book I finished in 2024 (it's currently 10pm on New Year's Eve, as I'm writing this, so I don't think I'm finishing any more) was not new to me - it was an Expanse book, Babylon's Ashes. That's the sixth book of nine in the series. I hadn't re-read them in three years, apparently, but I don't think I'm going to read the last three right now because I don't like them as much!
- In all I have a list of 70-some re-reads for 2024 - I always re-read a lot. (I really don't obsess at all about the numbers because I read so much no matter what, but I do - obviously - keep lists.)
- Possibly my new favorites from this year are the (indirect) sequels to The Goblin Emperor featuring the character Thara Celehar, Witness for the Dead and The Grief of Stones. I believe there's supposed to be one more of those coming out next year.
Happy 2025, everybody!
