Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is the Best Books I Read in 2024. I'm not worrying about publish dates but am instead just focusing on the date I read the book.
1. The Grace of Wild Things by Heather Fawcett - I wasn't sure what to expect with this one, but I absolutely loved everything about it - especially the connections from this book to Anne of Green Gables.
2. City of the Lost by Kelley Armstrong - I had heard raves about this author for ages and decided I had to try one of her books. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and it had a few surprises. This is a series I really want to continue in 2025.
3. The Lantern's Dance by Laurie R. King - I have read this series for years and years and I think this was my favorite one yet.
4. The Summer Swap by Sarah Morgan - I love when characters find themselves and what makes them happy, and this was a wonderful summer read that was fun escapism.
5. The Lights of Sugarberry Cove by Heather Webber - This author's books are always my favorite and this was no exception.
6. Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson - I was a bit meh on reading this one but it ended up being a total delight.
7. Overture to Death by Ngaio Marsh - I've read a number of Marsh books but this one really wowed me.
8. The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman - I love a good found family and this may just be the best one I've read in awhile - plus the characters are very bookish.
9. Some Choose Darkness by Charlie Donlea - I love a good mystery and this one really grabbed me. I can't wait to read more from this author.
10. The Rose Arbor by Rhys Bowen - This was one of those right time right book books. I loved the historical mystery element and I loved the characters.

I agree about Kelley Armstrong and Charlie Donlea. Both have written books that I have enjoyed a lot. There are other authors here that I've either read or mean to read. Nice list, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteI've read (and loved!) #s2, 8, and 9. And I really want to check out that Sarah Morgan and that Heather Fawcett book. They look really good. Wishing you a Happy New Year! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list. I have the Heather Fawcett book on my shelf after your review earlier. To be read in 2025! Big yes to Heather Webber of course and I love a Sarah Morgan book, although her Christmas one set in Scotland a few years back is the one I like the most. Added City of th e lost to my wish list on GR - sounds nail biting.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you finally started the Rockton series. It's one of my favorites. I also really love the Benjamin Stevenson series. I've read all three of the books and they're all delightful. So entertaining! I can't wait for more.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Great list. I haven't read any of these.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I see several titles of books I want to read and a couple I read and loved too, even if not last year. The Bookish Life of Nina Hill was such a great book. I hope you read many great books this new year, Katherine!
ReplyDeleteI loved Grace of the Wild Things too!! I wasn't sure what I was going to think of it, but it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe Grace of Wild Things sounds interesting. I'm going to check it out. 📘
