Read during #CampLitsy which added to the enjoyment of this book that didn‘t quite make my #Top24in24.

My favorite of June that didn‘t make my #Top24in24. Read for #AuthorAMonth. Not his best but still fantastic.

#12DaysofChristmas

Books that I loved that didn‘t make my #Top24in24. I was surprised at how much I liked this short book imagining of Mary.

@Andrew65

sarahbarnes I liked Enter Ghost a lot too, although it didn‘t make my top 24 this year either. 1mo

#12DaysofChristmas

I‘m choosing favorites out of those remaining after compiling my #Top24in24.

I hadn‘t read an Allison Weir in many, many years and read The Passionate Tudor as an ARC. I knew very little about Queen Mary and thought this was excellent.

@Andrew65

Andrew65 I love her books. 1mo

And the winner is! I‘m not surprised. When I finished The Vaster Wilds, I knew everything else would be hard pressed to outdo it. Watership Down certainly gave it a run for its money. They‘re both very similar in a way and I find that both amusing and comforting.

It was so much fun tracking my best reads throughout the year. I‘m tempted by other people‘s “worst of” boards too. 😅🤣

Thank you to @CSeydel for the original template I used.

AmyG Great choice. I loved this one. 1mo

#12DaysofChristmas. Playing catch up. Decided to do my favorites reads out of those that didn‘t make my #Top24in24

January: Persuasion because Jane Austen always.
February: Uncle Tom‘s Cabin My first time with this book. So glad to have finally read it.
March: Enter Ghost Why I love the Women‘s Prize list. Books I might not otherwise pick up.

@Andrew65

Andrew65 Some good choices. 1mo

#Top24in24

Thanks to whoever posted the tip about using this method on pic collage to get 24 books in one post easily.

This was a weird reading year for me looking back. Not as many 5 🌟 reads as last year. A lot more what I consider fluffy or easy reads and about 35 less books in total. A bonus was increased luck on #NetGalley. I am at 191 for the year and might finish one more.

Looking forward to a great year 2025 in books!

squirrelbrain Great list - we have quite a few the same! 1mo
BarbaraBB So many favorites of mine too! 1mo
Hooked_on_books So happy to see My Friends on your list! It‘s one of my top reads as well and I felt like it was a little overlooked despite being nominated for several awards. 1mo
sarahbarnes So many great ones on here! And Vaster Wilds is on my TBR. Also thanks for the pic collage tip! 😁 1mo

Loved this. Dysfunctional family. Sad and probably not recommended if you‘re still looking for your Christmas smiles.

squirrelbrain One of my favourites of this year ❤️ 1mo
AmyG It was one of my favorites too. That ending had me in tears. (edited) 1mo
TrishB @squirrelbrain @AmyG I‘d just finished my books of the year list and this has now leaped frogged onto it! I was in tears at a couple of points ♥️ 1mo

Deblovestoread Loved this one. Will be on my #Top24in24 list. 1mo
LeeRHarry I think this is the one book I‘m sad I haven‘t got to this year - the holds list at the library is looong. But it‘ll be worth the wait! 😊 1mo
BarbaraBB I finished it too today. Loved the sisters but the book didn‘t make my top list 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo
TrishB @BarbaraBB it‘s definitely a late addition to mine! 1mo
TrishB @Deblovestoread mine too! 1mo
TrishB @LeeRHarry hope you love when you get to it. 1mo
