Happy Tuesday and Happy New Year my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is : Best Books I Read in 2024. The hardest part about today's topic is going to be narrowing it down. I had 55 books that I marked as a favorite in 2024 (and that's assuming I didn't miss any)! Let's be honest, I am not going to try to get it to 10, but will *try* to keep it around 20. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.

Now, let's not get too technical about which genre I put a book under, because several could go in several different places. I tried not to put more than one book by the same author, with one exception because I read two series of Annah Conwell, maybe three, so I had quite a few books from her on my favorites list. All the books listed are 5 stars, and I did not include rereads. I'm sorry for not linking the books to my reviews, I am at my sister's house in TN, and technically taking a break, but wanted to participate in this week's topic. I will be visiting your all's blogs in a few days.What was a favorite book of yours from this year?What topic did you go with this week? I would love for you to share in the comments.
