I read 18 books this year! I see on Goodreads that some people read 60, 180, even 486 books a year...I will never read that many books in a year, basically because I have a life outside of reading. I mean if you are reading 486 books, that's more than one a day, unless the books are like 100 pages, you'd be reading practically all the time. I mean who has time for that? No me!
18 books may not be a lot for many but it is for me! Goodreads only list 17 books but they didn't count the BIBLE. Yes, I read the complete Bible this year...what a great feeling that is. I've started it in the past and made it as far as October, but never made it completely through. I'm going to try again this year, although I am already a few days behind in my daily reading, but I can catch up pretty easy.
I always read a classic novel each year and this year I picked two..."Flowers for Algernon" (so good) and "Island of the Blue Dolphin", which I think I may have read when I was younger, but I didn't remember much about it so I'm glad I read it (maybe, again?)
So....
My two favorite books this year were "The Women" and "The Wedding People". "The Women" was historical fiction, which I don't usually read but it was so, so good and very eye opening to hear about the nurses that served during the Vietnam War and especially to hear about them once the war was over.
"The Wedding People" was just a super fun read!
I don't have a "least favorite book"...I enjoyed ever single book I this year. Some, I don't even know how I found out about them, it's like they just popped up in my email or maybe on my Goodreads' feed..I honest don't know. Some I found out about when the author was doing the promos on them by going on talk shows and such.
I'm looking forward to 2025 reading. I have so many that I want to read already!
Did you read any of these books this year? Which ones?
