In 2024, I read 95 books and listened to 34 audiobooks. That's a larger-than-usual amount for me, due mainly to the last quarter of the year when I had a pinched nerve that kept me from doing anything but reading. During those three months, I read/listened to 52 books. Like I said -- I didn't do anything else!
I discovered a lot of new-to-me authors, and I'd especially like to mention Eliza Prokopovits (@elizaprokopovits) and Christina Dudley (@christinadudleyauthor). I read a complete series (six books each) from both authors, all of which I reviewed here.
I also discovered the no-spice fantasy community, especially Mary Mecham (@marymecham_author), Sarah Beran (@sarah.beran.author), and Kendra E. Ardnek (@fairytalearista), for which I am so grateful!
I read more mysteries than anything, of course, and my most read authors were Peter Lovesey (6 books), Agatha Christie (7 books), P.J. Fitzsimmons (9 books), and Patricia Wentworth (10 books).
I read 14 five-star books and did not finish at least a dozen. I began the year with a Golden Age mystery by a lesser known author but a favorite of mine, Moray Dalton, and just now finished my last book of the year, Crown and Cinder by Kendra E. Ardnek.
So, how was your reading year? No matter how many you read, as long as you enjoyed reading, it's a win!
