2024 Reading List

What were your favorite books of 2024? I read a lot of book series and explored recommendations from other editors. I discovered I enjoy fantasy as much as mystery and thrillers. I kept up a furious reading pace by using the Libby app, which only allows twenty-one-day loans. Maybe you can find some new favorites this year from my list. Some are truly epic.

My goal list for 2025 includes local writers like Jennifer K. Morita and Gideon Asche. Tell me what was on your 2024 reading list.
